    A Battalion in the Trenches of 1917

    by Boyd Cable ...
    A battalion's part in a great push on the western front, told by a serving officer and published in 1917 while the war was still going on - the wire, the guns, the mud and the men.

  • Grapes Of Wrath

    by Boyd Cable ...
    IT is possible that this book may be taken for an actual account of the Somme battle, but I warn readers that although it is in the bulk based on the fighting there and is no doubt colored by the fact that the greater part of it was written in the Somme area or between visits to it, I make no claim for it as history or as an historical account. My ambition was the much lesser one of describing as ... Read more

  • By Blow and Kiss: The Love Story of a Man with a Bad Name

    by Boyd Cable ...
    It was fiercely hot inside the hut, although the click and snap of the tin roof spoke of its cooling now that the sun was off it. The men eating their supper at the long deal table sat with shirt sleeves rolled up and collars open at the throat, and the sweat drops glistening on their browned faces, brick-red arms, and lean throats. In spite of the heat they ate hugely, as men do who have spent a ... Read more

  • Action Front

    by Boyd Cable ...
    In this classic work, the author tries to draw an image of WWI horrors through several short stories. The book was based on true events and reflects the feelings of the soldiers facing death on the front lines. There were some who complained that my last book was in parts too grim and too terrible, and no doubt the same complaint may lie against this one. To that I can only reply that I have found ...

  • Between the Lines (WWI Centenary Series)

    by Boyd Cable ...
    ""This book, all of which has been written at the Front within sound of the German guns and for the most part within shell and rifle range, is an attempt to tell something of the manner of struggle that has gone on for months between the lines along the Western Front, and more especially of what lies behind and goes to the making of those curt and vague terms in the war communiqués. I think that ... Read more

  • Air Men o'War.

    by Boyd Cable ...
    The war above the battle lines of the First World War is brought to life in these tales of the cavalry of the skies. However, by and large, the knights of the air were not much given to self-publicity that their exploits and effectiveness entitled them to. Writing under a pseudonym, Boyd Cable, who spent a year at the front with them, wrote of the feats of his flying companions. From flying ... Read more
