The first hundred thousand : being the unofficial chronicle of the unit of "K(1)"

This 1916 novel, based on the author's combat experiences, tells the story of Kitchener's volunteer army from its mustering in 1914 to its first great blooding in the 1915 Battle of Loos, where, at the cost of 20,000 British casualties, not one inch of ground was gained. Hay's tone perfectly captures the strong character of the soldiers and commanders in times of great difficulty.

  • "The First Hundred Thousand is John Hay Beith's humorous memoir of military training and life in the trenches as part of the first hundred thousand volunteers in Lord Kitchener's New Army during the First World War. Compiled from pieces written for Blackwood's Magazine, Beith's memoir was a bestseller in the then-neutral United States as well as in Britain and, following the "Battle of the Slap-Heaps" (Loos), Beith went to work at the information branch of the British War Mission in Washington, supplying war news to the American press. HarperTorch brings great works of non-fiction and the dramatic arts to life in digital format, upholding the highest standards in ebook production and celebrating reading in all its forms.
