Description:
Written with dignity, candour and surprising wit, this soldier's story of the horror of the Western Front trenches is a testament to the power of the human spirit.
It's the end of the 1916 winter and the conditions are almost unbelievable. We live in a world of Somme mud. We sleep in it, work in it, fight in it, wade in it and many of us die in it. We see it, feel it, eat it and curse it, but we can't escape it, not even by dying.
Somme Mud tells of the devastating experiences of Edward Lynch, a young Australian private (18 when he enlisted) during the First World War when he served with the 45th battalion of the Australian Infantry Forces on the Western Front at the Somme, which saw the most bloody and costly fighting of the war. In just eight weeks, there were 23,000 Australian casualties.
The original edition of twenty chapters, was written in pencil in twenty school exercise books in 1921, probably to help exorcise the horrendous experiences Private Lynch had witnessed during his three years at war from mid-1916 until his repatriation home in mid-1919. Lynch had been wounded three times, once seriously and spent over six months in hospital in England.
Somme Mud is a precious find, a discovered treasure that vividly captures the magnitude of war through the day-to-day experiences of an ordinary infantryman. From his first day setting sail for France as the band played 'Boys of the Dardanelles' and the crowd proudly waved their fresh-faced boys off, to the harsh reality of the trenches of France and its pale-faced weary men, Lynch captures the essence and contradictions of war.

Attractive, easy to install, nicely equipped hardware package.
Color: B. Rustic Brown - Americana Farmhouse Style, Number Of Shelves: 2, Size: 22.5inches
These are pretty doggone nice shelves and I appreciate the fact that they are not made of solid particle board. Yes they are made of an engineered product, but they are lightweight and strong…and look better than particle board products and more costly than their actual price.
Easy installation system with the bracket…not fussy like some are.
An especially thoughtful touch is the variety of hardware that is included. Also a tiny level for use when installing them. What? …So they can be installed correctly? I was pleasantly surprised by this inclusion.

If the set screws were white the shelves would be perfect.
Color: C. White - Modern Minimalist Style, Number Of Shelves: 3, Size: 15.7inches
I'd give 4 1/2 if there was one. The shelves thwmself are nice I just don't like the visible little black set screws. The shelves themself look great and are not wobbly at all if you install correctly. I purposely installed the bracket upside down because of the little black setting screws; I didnt want them showing because the shelves are above eye level and the screws are black and I didn't want them showing. But that made the shelf lean amd wobbly so I turned them back over the way they are supposed to be and that made them level and sturdy. I guess I'll paint the little screws.

MoreThan Just A Shelf
Color: 1set, Size: 24inch
Absolutely love this Helsin 3-Tier Industrial Pipe Shelf! It completely transformed a blank wall in my home office into a stylish, functional display area that’s equal parts rustic charm and industrial cool. The real wood shelves are thick, sturdy, and beautifully finished with that perfect rustic vibe. Combined with the heavy-duty black metal piping, this unit feels rock solid once mounted. Zero wobble. I was honestly surprised at how simple the installation was. All the parts were included, instructions were clear, and it went up faster than expected. I had it securely mounted to studs in under 10 minutes. This shelf works just as well for books, plants, décor, or collectibles. I’ve got a mix of framed photos, succulents, and vintage finds on mine, and it handles the weight with no issue. It gives vertical storage without eating up floor space, and the combination of rustic wood and industrial pipe makes it a true statement piece. I’ve had multiple compliments already! I could see this shelf fitting perfectly in living rooms, kitchens, offices, or even bathrooms. It’s compact enough for smaller spaces but bold enough to stand out in larger rooms. Highly recommended!
