EDWARD MADIGAN is a Government of Ireland IRCHSS Fellow and Associate Director of the Centre for War Studies at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland.
After the Great War some texts by British Army veterans portrayed the Anglican chaplains who had served with them in an extremely negative light. This book examines the realities of Anglican chaplains' wartime experiences and presents a compelling picture of what it meant to be a clergyman-in-uniform in the most devastating war in modern history.
Examines and evaluates the experiences, reputations, observations, and front-line role of the Anglican chaplains that served with the British army during the First World War
