Books on war

Just finished "Somme Mud" by Edward Lynch. ISBN 978-1-74166-894-0

Picture a grandson going through his recently deceased grandfathers personal items to discover 20 handwritten scrapbooks filled with his grandfathers handwriting. As he starts to read he realises these notes are a first hand account from the day of his enlistment in 1916 and his experiences in the trenches right though the Somme campaign to the end of the war and well into 1919 and coming back home to Australia.

There are several moments in the book that are etched into my brain for life and I'm honestly grateful I didnt get to see them first hand.

Looks like I need to retire and take up full time reading. I have seven books ahead of me now and still the sugestions are coming in. Thank you all for contributing to this thread.
