Praise for To Fight Alongside Friends:

‘What shines through like sunshine is Charlie May’s default belief in service to country, his quiet commitment to others over self, and his sheer decency. You could bet your life on Charlie. And, in a way, we did’

The Times

‘[We] want to hear the voices of those who were there, unencumbered by 21st-century prejudices … To Fight Alongside Friends [is] the disarmingly jaunty, previously unpublished diary of Captain Charlie May … beautifully edited and minutely annotated’

Sunday Times

‘By 1 July 1916, when the last diary entry was entered at 5.45 a.m., the reader feels that they know Charlie May, and what follows comes as a shock, as if a cinema reel had broken in mid-reel’

Financial Times

‘Every so often one comes across a diary where it is the sense of personality behind it that lifts it out of the ordinary: such a diary is that of Captain Charlie May’

David Crane
