Or, on a different theme "Early one morning" by Robert Ryan - it's part fiction part true about the exploits of racing drivers Williams and Benoist during the War.
I read Shackleton's own account of THAT journey (it was free on Kindle !) ...absolutely astounding. Well worth a read. So sad that many did not survive the Great War after such an ordeal.
