Books By George Ashurst

George Ashurst served with the Lancashire Fusiliers, taking part in First Ypres, Gallipoli and the Somme, and enduring months of trench warfare on the Western Front, making numerous grim and dangerous patrols into no man's land. Ashurst was often frightened and uncertain, occasionally infuriated by the 'shirking' amongst the officers, and was usually ready for a cigarette or drink, but when his battalion attacked he would not shrink from his duty.
