Less than twenty months after joining the Officers' Training Corps in Trinity College Dublin, Campbell led his company over the arid ground to the Front. From the beginning he kept a diary, describing life in these two theatres of war in great detail. Forward the Rifles is that diary. In it, he encapsulates the frightening scale of warfare, and yet he managed to find humour in the simple acts of himself and his men, as they trudge through daily life, trying to keep their bodies nourished and their spirits buoyed. The story of Captain David Campbell is one that will ring true for many, and yet it is an intensely personal one, chronicling his recovery from the physical and mental wounds of battle. Now, more than three decades after his death, the unswerving loyalty, courage and kindness of Captain David Campbell, M.C., are reborn. 538 System requirements: Adobe Digital editions. 588 0 Print version record. 600 10 Campbell, David,|d1887-1971. 610 10 Great Britain.|bArmy.|bRoyal Irish Rifles.|bBattalion, 6th |vBiography. 650 0 World War, 1914-1918|xCampaigns|zTurkey|zGallipoli Peninsula. 650 0 World War, 1914-1918|vPersonal narratives, Irish. 650 7 HISTORY / Military / World War I.|2bisacsh 655 0 Electronic books. 700 1 Campbell, David Henry. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aCampbell, David, 1887-1971.|tForward the Rifles.|dDublin : Nonsuch Pub., 2009.|z9781845889661 (pbk.)|w(DLC)2009675202 914 frd00010385
