This is wonderful. Never knew of Aitken so thank you. The vignette of the two girls on the dog cart is so well done it alone makes a case to read him.

As for war memoirs - have you read Fitzroy Maclean’s Eastern Approaches ?

WWI -- but yes.

I have read so much about World War I. That is when it went decisively off the rails. Our civilization has never recovered.
