Extracts from an officer's diary written in the trenches of World War I, along with extracts of his own personal war poetry. Donald Campbell was an officer with The Gordons and Seaforth Highlanders regiments, and served for over two years in France during the 1st World War. He survived the Great War, though a very changed man because of his experiences. He was also a poet, a playwright and the grandfather I sadly never met.
