With A Machine Gun To Cambrai
Shipping
With a Machine Gun to Cambrai by George Coppard is a vivid World War I memoir, told by a former British machine-gunner who fought from the Somme to the 1917 offensive at Cambrai. First published in 1980, this first-edition hardcover captures the everyday terrors and black humour of trench life in the author’s own words.
The 174-page volume is illustrated with contemporary photographs and maps that bring the Western Front into sharp focus. A clean, tight copy from a smoke-free home, it shows only light foxing to the page edges and some scuffing and fading on the supplied dust jacket; pages remain unmarked and the binding is strong.
Ideal for readers of military history, autobiography or Great War studies, this vintage Imperial War Museum title offers an authentic voice rarely matched by later histories. Add Coppard’s classic to your shelf and march alongside the Tommies who faced mud, shells and machine guns a century ago.
