Alex Mayhew provides new perspectives on military morale by exploring the experiences of English infantrymen in Belgium and France from 1914 to 1918. Drawing on approaches from anthropology, psychology, and sociology, he examines the morale and endurance of these soldiers and helps to explain how soldiers made sense of the Great War.
