Captain Gilbert Nobbs

The London Rifle Brigade in the Great War: Two Accounts of a Famous Territorial Regiment on the Western Front-Short History of the London Rifle Brigad Captain Gilbert Nobbs

The London Rifles in the Trenches

The London Rifle Brigade was one of the famous territorial regiments that saw service during the Great War. This book-for the sake of good value-brings together two accounts of its service on the Western Front. The first is a short history written by an anonymous author that briefly, with the aid of photographs and maps, outlines the activities of the regiment during its time in Europe; the reader can therefore follow the Rifles battalions through the war in detail. The second title in this volume is Gilbert Nobb's 'On the Right of the British Line.' Nobbs was an officer of the regiment and saw much active service before being seriously wounded. His first hand account adds the immediacy of personal experiences in the trenches and under fire to the accompanying history. Available in softcover and hardback with dust jacket for collectors.
