Excerpt from A Scholar's Letters From the Front
Many soldiers' letters have been published during the past three years, and with reason, for we should keep what record we can of a generation so gallant and so sorely stricken. Yet a few words of explanation are perhaps due, when an addition is made to the number of such publications. Englishmen are proverbially reticent in expression, especially when they feel deeply, and the letters of English soldiers have been distinguished on the whole by this reserve. They contain, often enough, vivid pictures of things done or suffered, of the daily routine or the occasional adventure, but they are rarely meditative, they rarely reveal the thoughts or emotions of the writer, and we must go to their verses to find what our soldiers feel about the war. There is therefore good reason for publishing some of the letters of a young Oxford scholar to whom the war was a searching experience but who took it with a cheerful heart, one who from boyhood had sought the art of expression and for whom a thought was not mature until it had received adequate utterance.
Stephen Hewett was born in India in 1893. His father was in the Indian telegraph service, a career which in the wilder parts of the country had often meant danger and adventure.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This captivating diary, spanning from 1915 to 1916, recounts the experiences of Stephen H. Hewett, a young Oxfordian who put his education on hold to serve his country as part of the 14th Warwicks. His letters, characterized by an old-fashioned mannerism and gravitas, are poignant and honest, providing an intimate window into the reality of World War I. The diary-like entries immerse us in Stephen's daily life, revealing a man balancing his innate anxieties with a stoicism born from the shared experience of war. As a platoon commander, he grapples with the challenges of leading young men amidst the horrors of trench warfare, all the while cherishing memories of happier days at Oxford and seeking solace in the beauty of his surroundings. Through Stephen's eyes, the book reflects on the nature of loss, sacrifice, and the enduring power of camaraderie. Despite the brutality of war, he finds moments of camaraderie, reflection, and even joy.
