The Backwash of War - Paperback

by Ellen N. La Motte (Author)

The Backwash of War is a classic World War One history text by Ellen N. La Motte. This war has been described as "Months of boredom, punctuated by moments of intense fright." The writer of these sketches has experienced many "months of boredom," in a French military field hospital, situated ten kilometres behind the lines, in Belgium. During these months, the lines have not moved, either forward or backward, but have remained dead-locked, in one position.
