Book Overview

The Cross At The Front: Fragments From The Trenches is a book written by Thomas Tiplady and published in 1917. The book is a collection of personal anecdotes, observations, and reflections from Tiplady's time serving in the trenches during World War I. Tiplady was a chaplain in the British Army and his experiences in the war were shaped by his role as a spiritual leader to the soldiers. The book is divided into chapters that cover different aspects of life in the trenches, such as the daily routine, the impact of the war on soldiers' mental health, and the role of religion in the war. Tiplady's writing is deeply personal and emotional, as he describes the horrors of war and the toll it takes on those who fight in it. He also discusses the ways in which soldiers found comfort and solace in their faith, and the role that chaplains played in providing spiritual guidance and support. Overall, The Cross At The Front is a powerful and moving account of one man's experience of World War I. Tiplady's writing offers a unique perspective on the war, as he was not a soldier but rather a chaplain who witnessed the suffering and sacrifice of those around him. The book is a valuable historical document that provides insight into the human experience of war and the role of religion in times of crisis.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
