"The Grenadier Guards in the Great War of 1914-1918, Vol. 2 of 3" by Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Frederick Ponsonby is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book details the experiences and operations of the Grenadier Guards during World War I, specifically focusing on events from January to September 1916. It provides an in-depth look at the organization and actions of various battalions, highlighting their movements, battles, and the personal experiences of the soldiers involved. At the start of this volume, the narrative shifts into the daily routines and leadership transitions within the 3rd and 4th Battalions and the various engagements they faced. Detailed accounts reveal the conditions in the trenches, the impact of enemy artillery, and the consequences of daily duties on morale and health. The narrative also foreshadows significant battles, such as the Battle of the Somme, while chronicling the evolving tactical landscape of trench warfare, including the introduction of the tank as a novel military strategy. Overall, the opening provides a vivid portrayal of both the rigorous military structure and the human experiences underlying the Grenadier Guards' participation in the Great War.
