Bickersteth, Ellal

The Bickersteth Diaries, 1914-1918. Edited by John Bickersteth

London Leo Cooper 1995, First edition Hardcover Red boards, endpaper maps. pp xx, 332 + plates. Fine in jacket, no owner names. "This book is an imaginatively-edited version of the eleven volumes and more than three thousand pages of the diarist's original work. Ella Bickersteth began to put it together for her six sons, because one of them was in Australia at the outbreak of war. By the spring of 1915, four of her boys were on active service. She persevered year after year with her task - and we are now presented with a vivid mixture of English social, military and family history from 1914-1918. There are graphic accounts of firing squads and trench warfare and narrow escapes; of how an intelligence officer gallops around a battlefield under fire, and a sensitive chaplain ministers to dying men through days of bitter fighting. But the long inactive periods which war entails, the deep sadness a brother's death brings to a united family, and the way an imaginative padre sets about his priestly work at the Front are also faithfully described. Interwoven with all this are reflections on church and state politics, theological musings and matter-of-fact details of how an anxious mother who was also a busy vicar's wife, kept going through the huge upheaval which the war brought to the life of a middle-class, late-Victorian clerical household. One of the most important and revealing sets of diaries to emerge from the First World War, its significance is rightly pointed out by the distinguished military historian John Terraine in his introduction; and a former Archbishop of Canterbury contributes a perceptive and very personal foreword. One was in the 1st Royal Dragoons, another was a chaplain, altogether a wonderful presentation of the thought and feelings of British soldiers at war." - jacket

The object o f this volume is to picture Egypt as the soldier has seen it, from Sollum on the borders of Tripoli to Gaza in Palestine, and from the Mediterranean to the First Cataract at Assouan. It has no military significance, for it only records the trivial d oings of a non-combatant who has had the unusual experience of having lived in nearly all the camps occupied at various times by the E.E.F. " - author's note.
