Biography & Memoir History

Autobiography Memoir War World War I Military History

George Coppard’s classic memoir, With a Machine Gun to Cambrai, drops readers beside a working-class Tommy as he mans the Lewis gun on the Western Front. First published in 1980, this first-edition hardcover from the Imperial War Museum brings the 1917 Cambrai offensive to life through the author’s unfiltered memories and period illustrations.

The 174-page volume arrives in good vintage condition: pages are clean and tightly bound, with no writing or dog-ears. Light foxing speckles the outer edge, and the original dust jacket shows the expected scuffs and fading of forty-plus years, yet it still brightens the shelf of any World War I history buff.

Ideal for young adults and adults alike, Coppard’s story blends autobiography, military history, and British culture studies, making it a gripping addition to collections of true war stories or Great War memoirs.
