http://www.pgdp.net  a"With Haig on the Somme" by D. H. Parry is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The narrative unfolds during World War I, focusing on the experiences of soldiers in the trenches at the Somme, particularly highlighting the characters of Private Harry Hawke and Captain Bob Dashwood, as well as the newly joined Lieutenant Dennis Dashwood. The book likely explores themes of camaraderie, bravery, and the harsh realities of war, making it a compelling read for those interested in military history and personal stories from the front lines.  The opening of the book introduces Private Harry Hawke, a marksman, and his platoon commander, Captain Bob Dashwood, as they navigate the tense atmosphere in the trenches. Their conversation is abruptly interrupted when Captain Dashwood is injured by a sniper’s bullet, leading to a sense of dread and responsibility for Hawke. The story shifts focus to the Dashwood family's side, where the younger brother, Dennis, is about to join his brother at the front, bringing his youthful enthusiasm into the grim realities of warfare. Through skilled dialogue and vivid descriptions, Parry sets the stage for the unfolding drama at the Somme, establishing relationships that will be tested by the brutality of battle and the impending "Great Push."
