Description: This hardcover novel, titled "The First Hundred Thousand" by Ian Hay, is a valuable addition to any historical book collection. Published in 1915 by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, this first edition book provides a detailed nonfiction narrative of World War I.One reviewer wrote- An excellent collection of anecdotes concerning the experiences of young Scottish soldiers in the early years of the First World War. Written with a wry humor, the book takes the reader from the early days of mustering to the trenches of the Western Front in 1915. Like I said, a wry sense of humor, but, hard to find much humor in the slaughter of so many fine young men when they finally are called upon to participate in their first "big push." Indeed, much of the actual fighting is left out of the story, concentrating more on life in the trenches and the ordinary experiences that soldiers met with.Ian Hay was the pen name of John Hay Beith, later Major General John Hay Beith, CBE.
