| book description |

Brutal battles and terrifying trenches await in this look at the life of World War One soldiers! It's August 1914. You are 16-year-old Tommy Atkins, living in London. Set against a backdrop of the war just broken out in Europe, find out what your life was like after joining up and being sent to the trenches. From sharing your bed with rats and lice to a diet of bully beef, bread and biscuits, discover why you really wouldn't want to be a soldier living in a trench during World War One. The ever-popular You Wouldn't Want to Be series transports readers to the grisliest times and places in history. The first-person narrative approach puts the reader in the shoes of some of the most unfortunate people ever to have lived. Humorous cartoon-style illustrations bring the characters to life, while informative captions, timelines and maps explain processes or chronological events. Perfect for history enthusiasts!
