Product Description
Edward Casey, an underfed, under-sized and semi-literate Irish Cockney from Canning Town, was no war hero. Even so, his account of four years of war service with the Royal Dublin Fusiliers in WW1 is a remarkable chronicle, revealing his personal and sexual insecurities, his frank encounters with prostitutes and homosexuals , his remarkable experience of Irish unrest during periods of training and leave, and his excitement as a soldier in France, Salonica and Malta.
The memoir was written in 1980, six decades after.
Part of the Irish Narratives series, series editor David Fitzpatrick, this accoungt introduced and edited by Joanna Bourke.
