George Coppard’s classic memoir With a Machine Gun to Cambrai drops the reader beside a working-class Tommy as he trains, ships to France, and survives the Western Front. First-hand anecdotes, laced with wry humour, trace Coppard’s journey from raw recruit to battle-hardened machine-gunner in some of the Great War’s fiercest clashes.

This 1980 first edition hardcover arrives complete with its illustrated dust jacket and the crisp black-and-white photos that made Coppard’s story a staple for military-history buffs. The jacket shows light edge scuffs and sun fading, while the page block carries typical vintage foxing; inside, pages remain bright, unmarked, and firmly bound.

Ideal for collectors of British Great War memoirs or anyone seeking an authentic voice from the ranks, Coppard’s account has lost none of its power to illuminate trench life and the Somme fighting. A clean, smoke-free copy ready for the shelf or the reading chair.
