Some Desperate Glory is the story of a British Second Lieutenant – Edwin Campion Vaughan – and his experiences during the runup to the Battle of Passchendaele. It covers various aspects of Vaughan’s life as a soldier: his training, daily routines, interactions with his peers and superior officers, and maturation from callow youth to combat hardened leader.
The story features vivid descriptions of the battlefield, including Vaughan’s reflections on the brutalities of trench warfare and the psychological toll of combat. It offers insights into the spiritual and physical hardships he faces, and his resilience, his courage, and his compassion.
Some Desperate Glory is a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and a testament to Vaughan's courage and determination in the face of adversity.
