WWI BY BRitish Authors who Lived It

Remembrance Day in the United Kingdom and Veterans Day in the USA will coincide this year on 11 November (2018).  The eleventh hour of the eleventh month of 2018 will mark the 100th year since the fighting stopped in what came to be known as World War I (August 1914 – November 1918). 

It's a good time to read up on World War I from the British experience. 
 
Two novels and an autobiography that I thoroughly enjoyed are among my top choices.  All three books:
  • were written by British who lived through the war,
  • were well-received by the British public when first published,
  • continue to be read and recognized as clear voices of extraordinary events in British history.
 
In short, the books hit the mark in describing the difficulties of the Great War for the British who suffered through it.  Two are hefty in length:  the autobiography, Testament of Youth, runs about 600 pages; Parade’s End (really four novels) comes in close to 900 pages.  The short novel, The Return of the Soldier, is not quite 100 pages.
