Over the Top with the 25th (WWI Centenary Series)

This early work by R. Lewis was originally published in 1918 and we are now republishing it as part of our WWI Centenary Series. 'Over the Top with the 25th' is a memoir of a Lieutenant in the 25th (Nova Scotia Rifles) Battalion and chronicles the events at Vimy Ridge and Courcellette. This work is accompanied by the poem 'On Vimy Ridge' by Christopher Morley. This book is part of the World War One Centenary series; creating, collating and reprinting new and old works of poetry, fiction, autobiography and analysis. The series forms a commemorative tribute to mark the passing of one of the world's bloodiest wars, offering new perspectives on this tragic yet fascinating period of human history. Each publication also includes brand new introductory essays and a timeline to help the reader place the work in its historical context.
