Such, however, is the case. Old Bill, with all his memories of experiences and adventures in the first Great War, is now doing his bit in the second one.... As for myself, his chronicler, it has also seemed mighty strange to me to be once more drawing "Fragments from France" and to have revisited and wandered amongst scenes in this war that I knew so well in the last." - From the Introduction.
