The World in a Sandbag
The exploits of the Royal Munster Fusiliers (‘The Dirty Shirts’) in World War 1.
“A splendid sequel ... Despite its underlying themes, this novel is full of humour – real laugh-out-loud moments.”
“The Royal Munster Fusiliers ... are benefiting from a remarkable imaginative renaissance.”

Daniel Wyndham, starry-eyed American tourist, is lost.
The Battle of the Somme has led him to think that joining an Irish regiment of the British army was perhaps a mistake.
Now he’s looking for a way out and a way home.
But as all the ties that bound him to the Munster Fusiliers are falling away, he’s finding a reason to stay in the war.
Miss Nora Maxfield, of the Voluntary Aid Detachment of the Red Cross, wouldn’t be everyone’s idea of a war aim, but she’s what Wyndham is fighting for now.
John Ware used to work in the construction industry until they made him stop. He now lectures in history in his home town of Cork. He is the author of Dirty Shirt (2020).
