'Daredevil of the Army - Experiences as a ''Buzzer'' and Despatch Rider' Summary
In the midst of the chaos and danger of World War I, the only way to communicate between different sections of the army was by motorcycle dispatch riders. These brave men risked their lives to deliver messages, often riding through heavy fire and treacherous terrain. One of these riders was A.P. Corcoran, a young man who had already lived a life of adventure before the war broke out. In this book, Corcoran recounts his experiences as a dispatch rider, from his initial training to his harrowing missions on the front lines. He writes about the challenges and dangers of the job, as well as the camaraderie and sense of purpose he shared with his fellow riders. Corcoran's book is a vivid and moving account of the bravery and sacrifice of the men who kept the lines of communication open during World War I.Book Details
