Patrick MacGill, a twentieth century Irish journalist, poet and novelist, known also as "The Navy Poet", says in preface: I have tried in this book to give, as far as I am allowed, an account of an attack in which I took part. Practically the whole book was written in the scene of action, and the chapter dealing with our night at Les Brebis, prior to the Big. Push, was written in the trench between midnight and dawn of September 25th; the concluding chapter in the hospital at Versailles two days
...after I had been wounded at Loos.
