"Albert John (Jack) Martin was a 31-year-old Admiralty clerk when he was called up into the army in early 1916. Throughout his service with the Royal Engineers (the Sappers), he wrote in secret because men at the front were forbidden to keep diaries. And when he returned home he told no-one about them. Bundled up in the attic, they remained undiscovered until his grandson came across them in 1999." Edited by historian richard Van Emden, this offers a rare first-hand account from the trenches.
