Summary "The Grenadier Guards in the Great War of 1914-1918, Vol. 3 of 3" by Ponsonby is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This volume focuses specifically on the experiences of the Grenadier Guards during the First World War, particularly highlighting the events and battles that occurred from February to November 1918. The book provides detailed narratives of combat encounters, military strategies, and the resilience of the soldiers involved. The opening of this volume introduces the reader to the context of the 4th Battalion of the Grenadier Guards around February 1918, detailing their first tours in the trenches as they joined the Thirty-First Division. The author describes a notable German raid that tested the mettle of the battalion, capturing the tension and fear that permeated the front lines. Through the accounts of various officers and their gallant efforts amidst fierce assaults from German forces, the text lays a groundwork for the ensuing harrowing experiences of the battalion throughout the war, underscoring themes of valor, sacrifice, and the brutal reality of warfare.
