|summary=A timely collection of short pieces of fiction, taken from both sides of the Great War, and from all around the world – although with a bias towards the Western Front's trenches. Featuring established and lesser-known names, and nothing published after 1945, this is a multi-faceted portrayal of a world tearing itself apart; and without the taint of hindsight, it's all very much in the moment.

July 2014 marks the centenary of the outbreak of the Great War: a war that has become imprinted on the national consciousness of Britain (and plenty of modern nation-states), partly because of the large numbers of people (mostly men) writing about it. I don't mean journalists, who had been covering wars for the Victorian public, but artists: poets, authors, memoirists and painters. The poets especially have stamped World War One on collective memory, through countless poetry anthologies, recitals at memorials, and in school classrooms.
