A good book which is well written, in formative and very evocative of life in the trenches towards the end of the Battle of the Somme. Read the full review [link=https://www.arrse.co.uk/community/reviews/twelve-days-on-the-somme.1451/]here[/link]

The letters contained in this book, corroborated by other letters and the description of the battle of Cambrai written in the 1930s by De Pree, show a little known figure, grown in the shadow of his illustrious relative, Douglas Haig. But they also give us a vision of a whole maze of human relationships and affection that is often overlooked in official stories. And this book shows us some figures as we have never seen them, in their weaknesses and their feelings, this is very important to complete an investigation into who was the Haig man and his nephew, Hugo De Pree.
