A Brass Hat in No Man’s Land
1914. War had been declared, the armies mustered; battle would soon be joined. A hands-on commander, Frank Crozier carried out personal reconnaissance in close contact with the enemy for, he reasoned, how else could he make plans unless he could see for himself? Crozier was also unflinching in his acceptance of the ruthlessness required in their profession, and does not shy away from describing the suffering that soldiers inflicted upon each other. A Brass Hat in No Man’s Land is his uncompromising memoir of the First World War.
