de Davidson, Andrew - Género: English
Sinopsis
Featuring 250 previously unknown photographs, this is the extraordinary true story of a young doctor whose photos left behind an astonishing firsthand account of life at the front of World War I. As a twenty-five-year-old medical officer and one of the first doctors to win the Military Cross, Fred Davidson took countless photographs while he served in the trenches from 1914-1915. Though he took them illegally, more than 250 of the photographs shot by Davidson and his fellow officers survived and are now shared for the first time in this harrowing, eye-catching, and poignant narrative of the Great War. In A Doctor in the Great War, author Andrew Davidsonthe grandson of Freddepicts the everyday lives of soldiers, both on and off duty: from the parade ground at Glasgows Maryhill to the brothels of Armentieres, from the band of brothers who dubbed themselves Old Contemptibles to the original folding Kodak and Ansco cameras they used. It is the story of the 1st Cameronians, who achieved notoriety for selling the Great Wars earliest front line photographs. And it is a deeply personal account of the pictures that have been passed down for three generations, describing the men who fought with Fred Davidson, the conditions they served in, the battles they saw, and the horrors they endured. A must-have for history and photography enthusiasts alike, this glimpse of the War to End All Wars is an unusually intimate portrait that will engulf you in the lives of soldiers and leave you humbled and amazed.

Great Memoir. Many candid photos are shown throughout the book which give it an intimate portrait of life in a Scottish battalion from the early days of recruitment to the reality of war in the trenches. Very interesting perspective from Fred who became the Medical officer and how he evolved throughout the war and how kind and caring he was.2 s Adam Winter7 1 follower
I bought this book as I am interested in both history and medicine and it did not disappoint. This book tells the story of Fred's time as a doctor in WW1, combining wonderful narrative and fascinating pictures from the time.1 Linda365 1 follower
An interesting book as we come to the end of the 100 year anniversary of the end of WWI. This book is about a Scottish doctor assigned to a Cameroonian regiment and includes many pictures taken by himself and several other officers. My great uncle and grandfather we're both in this was, although at a later time than covered by this book. I have always wondered what dangers they faced and learned a great deal through reading this book. Now I'd to find a memoir from a U.S. soldier's perspective. We entered the way much later, but trench warfare was still the method of fighting.
If anyone knows a of a memoir that deals with the Battle of the Soome and the Marne, be please mention in the comments. Thanks. Farid Medleg67 2
This was such a unique and beautiful presentation of a topic that has already received millions of words of literature. It would make a beautiful addition to any collection of military and/or medical texts.military-history David Chantler27
