Thursday, 13 August, 1914.
Beautiful day. Very warm. We all went to Queen's park at night and heard the band. Britain declares war on Austria. Germans getting slaughtered in Belgium. Brilliant Belgium victory. Britannia ruling the waves.
In 1913, Thomas Cairns Livingstone begins keeping a diary. A Glaswegian shipping clerk, he spent his days working, visiting friends, complaining about the weather and worrying about the rent. He had no idea he would live through one of the most tumultuous periods in history: the First World War.
But as the crisis in Europe worsened and new filtered back to an anxious home front, Livingstone's commentary on family life, Scottish weather and his culinary attempts were soon interwoven with accounts of soldiers wounded, prisoners taken and submarines sunk.
Unique and utterly compelling, and illustrated throughout with Livingstone's wry, whimsical sketches, Tommy's War is beautiful written, touching and impossible to put down.
