520			_a"One Young Man" by Sir Ernest Hodder-Williams is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This poignant narrative recounts the true story of Reginald Davis, a clerk who enlisted in the British Army in 1914 and fought on the Western Front during World War I, ultimately enduring significant injuries during the harrowing Battle of the Somme. The tale not only documents Davis's experiences but also sheds light on the lives of countless young men who answered the call of duty during this tumultuous period. The opening portion of the book introduces readers to the protagonist, Sydney Baxter, who is characterized as an average young man—initially sheltered and somewhat naive—yet eager to serve his country. As he navigates the prejudices of his office colleagues, Baxter's story begins with his involvement in the Y.M.C.A., which becomes instrumental in shaping his social skills and preparing him for the rigors of military life. The early chapters highlight Baxter's internal struggles regarding enlisting, reflecting the conflict between familial duty and national service, ultimately leading to his decision to fight. This setup not only establishes Baxter's character but also sets the stage for his transformation from a humble clerk to a soldier facing the stark realities of war.
