Best Book about WWI trench life

I first read this book in 1991 and passed it amongst so many friends it got lost, so had to re-purchase it. Finely edited compilation that tells the story of the Royal Welch Fusiliers in WWI. BEST description of trench life and warfare I have ever read. Also details the dreariness of garrison duty, unit rotations, etc. If you are a student of WWI, you will most likely find this book is extensively used as reference source and quoted often in so many other WWI books
