Topographic survey of Catalonia at 1:25, 000 from the Institut Cartogràfic i Geològic de Catalunya, an attractive alternative to Spain’s national topographic survey at this scale, offering a much larger area per sheet with extensive tourist information & vivid presentation of vegetation & land use.

The story of the great battles of the First World War has been told by historians, journalists & others. The shock & slaughter of the Somme, Verdun & Passchendaele are a major theme of most books. Large scale battles, however, comprised the smaller part of soldiers` total time in combat. For 90% of that time soldiers fought small scale battles. These small conflicts were violent, continual & involved complex weaponry & specialised tactics. Yet, during small battles, soldiers could & often did, make choices not possible during large ones. From these choices, there evolved between enemies a curious culture of live & let live which constrained the war culture of kill or be killed in fundamental ways. ...

Think of a traditional Father Christmas; take away the beard so that you can see a beaming smile & a pair of glasses; remove the hat to reveal a slightly balding head; & replace the tunic to display a cardigan, always buttoned. Now you have a picture of how my grandfather, George Pine, appeared to me as a child. George was not a well-educated man, few of his generation were, but he had the most incredible memory & could tell a wonderful, gripping story. He could remember 50 or 60 years ago as if it were yesterday. Later on in life George lived at a residential home in Southmead, Bristol. The whole Pine family used to visit him as often as we could, including me & my wife Fran. He would then suspend his self-appointed role of organising all the residents (a legacy of his Sergeant Major training) & after a little prompting, sit down to retell some of his stories, still wearing a cardigan with buttons up the front. We thought that these stories were so interesting that in early 1972 we asked him to write them down. What follows are the memories that George recorded. The account you can now read probably contains less than half of the details that George could remember. Fran & I were hoping to read his account & visit him to record any missing details, but he wanted to finish the whole story before we read it. Unfortunately, he never did quite finish. George might not have had academic qualifications but he had qualities of which I am tremendously proud & which he passed on to his children. These qualities were resourcefulness, a fierce determination to always do your best, perseverance despite the difficulties & a deep loyalty to, & love of, family. I am very grateful to my brother-in-law, who has demonstrated these same qualities in expanding on over 40, 000 words of George`s handwritten memories. Clive has worked tirelessly, following up every conceivable lead, filling in many gaps & expanding upon George`s recollections. He has trawled through thousands of photographs & documents, delved in numerous public & private archives in the UK & abroad & visited France & Belgium, with friends & family, to follow George`s story. I recall one such visit to France. On one page in George`s handwritten account he drew a map of the German & British front lines. We were astonished to find that the map was uncannily accurate with the buildings & general terrain still there some 90 years later. I am sure this was just one of the discoveries that led Clive to spend so much time in researching & producing Trenches to Trams. He has transformed George`s handwritten pages from a family history to something much broader; touching on the First World War, Bristol Tramways & Carriage Company, Bristol in the Second World War & a slice of Bristol Social history from the 19th & 20th Centuries. The heart of George`s story is that of an ordinary Bristol Tommy who showed great courage, bravery & pluck in extraordinary times. Being the modest man he was, he would wish the readers of Trenches to Trams to consider it as a tribute to his generation & to a remarkable group of people
- his comrades & colleagues
- whose stories of heroism & sacrifice may never be told. John Pine
