As thrilling as any novel of adventure. It is a simple straight forward story wholly deserving of the eulogistic forward written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Stephen Wynn gives detailed biographical information about many of those from the Channel Islands who were involved in WW1. He mentioned that in his opinion there is sufficient material about the Women of the Channel Islands in the Great War to merit another book and I do hope that comes to fruition. With illustrations throughout and an index, Stephen’s book is a fitting tribute to the men and women of the Channel Islands during the First World War. He also raises an interesting question in the final chapter of the book – “what criteria was used to decide who should be included as a casualty of war?” I found a great deal of interesting facts for my weblogs and Facebook pages and will spread the word about this book which is a must for anyone interested in the history of the First World War.

Raised in 1902 and disbanded in 1922; one squadron served as part of the BEF at Mons in 1914 and subsequently a further five squadrons served with distinction throughout the Great War in France and Flanders. This is the first published account of the South Irish Horse and the author has done well to pull together a coherent and relatively detailed story draw largely from incomplete war diaries and press reports. He includes a reconstructed roll of honour and a list of honours and awards.

This book is a gem, particularly for family historians with a connection to the area. The author has done well to intertwine the wider passages and events of the war with the everyday way of life on the local home front.
