Trench Fever Book

Christopher Moore has a fixation on the First World War--an obsession that can be defined as "trench fever". His mission to record the life of an unsung hero of the 1914 to 1918 conflict leads him to dog every step taken by the Fifth Leicesters regiment, and one combatant in particular--his grandfather, Private Walter Butterfield. Moore enthusiastically spends his summers researching the Fifth Leicesters' history, through the horrors of Vimy Ridge, Ypres, and Loos--names that loom large in the chronicles of war--to the regiment's part in the decisive victories at Riqueval and Bellenglise that brought about the Armistice. Trench Fever makes for a fascinating, stirring read. Moore brings the realities of trench experience to vivid life more than 80 years after his grandfather first experienced them, and records them for a new generation in order to ensure that the courage shown in the past to safeguard the future is not forgotten.Read More
