Summary "With British Guns in Italy: A Tribute to Italian Achievement" by Hugh Dalton is a historical account written in the immediate aftermath of World War I, first published in the early 20th century. The author, a former lieutenant in the Royal Garrison Artillery, shares his experiences serving alongside Italian forces on the Italian Front between 1917 and 1918. The book aims to highlight the significant contributions of Italian troops during the war and celebrate Anglo-Italian friendship through personal anecdotes and observations from the front lines. The opening of the narrative sets the stage for Dalton's reflections, discussing the historical context of Anglo-Italian relations and Italy's role in the Great War. The author emphasizes the mutual respect and camaraderie that existed between British and Italian soldiers, while also addressing the challenges they faced together on the battlefield. He recalls his journey from Folkestone to Italy, capturing vivid impressions of the landscapes and people he encountered along the way. Dalton's prose combines a sense of personal narrative with broader historical insights, establishing a tone of reverence for the bravery of Italian soldiers and a commitment to documenting their efforts during a strenuous period of conflict.
