A Journal of Impressions in Belgium

A Journal of Impressions in Belgium

"A Journal of Impressions in Belgium" (1915) makes no attempt to be anything more than a journal: a lucid, simple, heart-breaking account of war at first hand.

In 1914, at the age of 51, the novelist and poet May Sinclair volunteered to leave the comforts of England to go to the Western Front during the First World War, joining the Munro Ambulance Corps ministering to wounded Belgian soldiers in Flanders. Her experiences in the Great War, brief and traumatising as they were, permeated the prose and poetry she wrote after this time. Witness of great human pain and tragedy, Sinclair was in serious danger of her life on multiple occasions.
