No Labour, No Battle

Discover the untold stories of the Great War in No Labour, No Battle by John Starling. Published in 2014 by The History Press Ltd, this compelling book sheds light on the experiences of British soldiers who, from 1917 onwards, found themselves serving in unarmed roles due to age or unfitness for front-line combat. These brave individuals undertook essential labouring tasks, often within the perilous range of German artillery for weeks or even months. With a focus on the lesser-known aspects of World War I, Starling's work offers a unique perspective on the sacrifices made by those who supported the war effort from behind the lines. This paperback edition is a must-read for history enthusiasts and anyone interested in the complexities of military service during one of the most significant conflicts in history. Join John Starling on a journey through the trials and tribulations faced by these unsung heroes.
