World War I stands as a watershed in the evolution of modern warfare, with the development of sophisticated trench systems forming a battlefield 400 miles long, innovations in weaponry and equipment, and the introduction of tanks in battle. However, without the ordinary soldier, there could have been no war. The Great War was very much a conflict of infantrymen – the largely forgotten masses of Tommies, Fritzes, Poilus and Doughboys. Renowned World War I historian, Gary Sheffield, examines the day-to-day lives of these men as they fought and died in the trenches.
