This detailed wartime diary of Lieutenant Colonel the Hon. Ralph G. A. Hamilton, Master of Belhaven, offers a valuable first-hand account of service on the Western Front during the First World War. Covering the years 1914 to 1918, the diary provides a continuous and immediate perspective on operations, movements and daily life within the British Army.
The text is supported by a large number of contemporary maps illustrating key engagements and positions, allowing the reader to follow the progression of events with clarity. Hamilton’s observations combine operational detail with personal reflection, making this both a primary historical source and an engaging narrative of front-line experience.
A significant contribution to First World War studies, particularly useful for those interested in artillery operations, battlefield geography and first-hand accounts of the conflict.
