"It is said that the only form of immortality accessible to us lies in the memory of others. That being so, Mr. Dixon has done proud those young men who died in the senseless slaughter on the Western Front during WWI. Having been privileged enough to accompany him to the battlefields, I found that the memories and emotions of those occasions were brought to life once more as I read "Tales from the Western Front." This book is a must-read for those unable to visit the sites, as the author's prose brings to life the personalities of those involved and in doing so emphasizes the magnitude of the tragedy."
