520    Hidden away in the back of an old desk drawer was a dusty 
       pile of school-style exercise books. In them were the 
       recollections of a young officer who had fought with the 
       Essex Regiment in the First World War from the Battle of 
       Neuve Chapelle in 1915, through the mud and misery of 
       Ypres, to see victory in 1918. Discovering the memoirs of 
       Lieutenant Robert D'Arblay Gybbon-Monypenny was not the 
       only surprise, what was even more remarkable was how well-
       written they were, how vividly life and death in the 
       trenches was portrayed.

That life in the 
       trenches saw Robert hit by a sniper's bullet, buried in 
       appalling mud-slides, choked in a chlorine gas attack and 
       almost bayoneted by one of his own men, driven insane by 
       the perpetual shelling. Inevitably, he was wounded as he 
       led his men over the top at Arras, yet somehow he 
       survived.

To add to these riches were letters
       home from both Robert Moneypenny and his brother, and 
       fellow officer, Phillips, who won the Military Cross with 
       the Royal West Kent Regiment, but who was killed just four
       months before the end of the war.

The 
       collection of memoirs, letters and personal photographs 
       are woven together to produce a gripping and powerfully 
       frank testimony – one that will come to be 
       recognised as amongst the finest personal accounts of the 
       First World War ever to be published. [Elib]
