An inspiring account of something (the Christmas Truce) that's become famous down the years, but about which we knew very little. Of terrific local interest and a wonderful read. Look out for a talk by Andrew and Alan at our History Festival in September- Keith Smith of Warwick Books
The content is fascinating and packed with informative snippets of information- my type of book! You and Alan have done a great job and I for one hope it will not be your last publication.
- Dick Rayner- Norfolk Regimental Museum
A really stupendous effort- Professor Richard Holmes
An exceptional book that adds so much to our knowledge of the early days of WW1- Major Tonie and Valmai Holt
It is the treatment of the Christmas Truce that makes this book stand out- Chris Baker The Long, Long, Trail website
It’s very different to the other Christmas Trucebooks…it’s a must for the museum shop- Dominiek Dendooven, In Flanders Museum Ypres
Meet at Dawn, Unarmed certainly tells a fascinating story and I very much like the way that you have incorporated the facts and figures into such an interesting narrative in the introductory chapters. I am delighted with the Glenalmond section and the details that you put in about William Miles Kington, WJ Locke etc. The diaries and your notes are very interesting, in particular of course, your grandfather’s account of the Truce and his role in it. You must be very pleased with the fruits of your research and hard work – the book is very attractive and the illustrations excellent throughout- Mrs Elaine Mundill, Librarian and Archivist, Glenalmond College, Perth
Enchanting, engaging, moving and interesting throughout- Mark Ryan, King Edwards VI College, Stourbridge
‘A wonderful book’- Birgit Freeman translator of Kurt Zehmisch’s photograph notes
I think the book is excellent, and I’m very pleased to have been involved in a small way. Mark Warby Editor of The Old Bill Newsletter about Bruce Bairnsfather
Meet at Dawn Unarmed is beautifully produced and absolutely fascinating. I hugely enjoyed reading about the Christmas Truce- Tim Woffenden International Baccalaureate History programme
A fascinating read with a very personal view of the time at the front. I wish my Grandfather had done the same. John Sturt
