Men, Horses, Mud And Stew: The Little Fusilier's Great War

Wilfred Cook / Audrey Larkins

Large View

With beautifully illustrated chapters that capture the atmosphere and spirit of the era; Men, Horses, Mud And Stew is an exceptional read. This is the story of Wilfred Cook who volunteered for the army at the age of eighteen and left his home in Leeds in March 1915. After initial training in Whitley Bay he was transferred to the Northumberland Fusiliers (known as the Fighting Fifth). He then recounts how they were equipped and sent to the battlefields of France and Flanders to reinforce the regiments already fighting there; and in evocative detail, we are immersed in the narrative from how they arrived first at Poperinghe and from where they marched by night to join the battalion entrenched at St Eloi on the Ypres Salient. This is an account of an ordinary fusilier who saw great suffering but kept his sense of humour and made some wonderful pals, many of whom died in the mud of Flanders fields. Illustrated by Soren Hawkes, British Artist living in Ypres.
