Sobre IBD

Re-worked to mark the centenary of the Armistice, ÔEnlist!Õ is the result of many years of tenacious detective work.Using family papers, photographs and official records, the author weaves an account of the Great War which resonates with authenticity.Denied the chance to join up in August 1914, Talbot Wheelwright had to lie in order for the Army to accept him. Nominated for a commission, he is soon posted to the Western Front but in the horror of battle, TalbotÕs Battalion Commander is seriously wounded. His replacement, newly promoted and supremely self-confident is instantly disdainful of both TalbotÕs civilian background and his humanity.With connections within the highest reaches of the War Cabinet, the new Colonel quickly contrived to have Talbot home in disgrace.Convinced that every available man is needed on the Front Lines, Talbot petitioned his senior officers until finally he is allowed to return - to one of the harshest battle zones of the Great War. 3
