| Summary | "Q.6.a and Other Places: Recollections of 1916, 1917 and 1918" by Francis Buckley is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The narrative recounts Buckley's three years of military service during World War I, focusing particularly on his experiences in France and Flanders. Through the lens of his personal reflections, the memoir aims to capture the camaraderie, struggle, and heroism of the soldiers, while also addressing the harsh realities of war. The opening of the memoir introduces Buckley's early life before the war, highlighting his rejection from military service due to health reasons and his subsequent efforts to enlist as the war escalated. The initial passages establish the ominous atmosphere leading up to Britain’s declaration of war and Buckley’s sense of duty, revealing his emotional journey from civilian life to that of a soldier. He reflects on his training experiences and the friendships formed amidst the turmoil, with particular focus on the officers and men of the 7th Northumberland Fusiliers, setting the stage for the personal accounts and battles to come throughout his narrative.
