Few men spent the whole of World War One serving in the British Expeditionary Force,
from its initial deployment in August 1914 to its demobilization in February 1919.
One who did was the Right Reverend Llewellyn Gwynne, the bishop of Khartoum. On leave
in London in the summer of 1914, he persuaded the archbishop of Canterbury that his
experience with troops in the Sudan made him an ideal candidate for a temporary commission
as a chaplain. Gwynne went to France with a hospital and then, in December 1914, was
transferred to a field vmbulance in the front line. During July 1915, he was summoned
back to London to be told that he was now the Deputy Chaplain General and thus responsible
for the oversight of all Anglican chaplains. An inveterate diarist, Gwynne kept a
detailed record of his life as a unit chaplain and how he managed the transition to
high office in the Army Chaplains' Department. The diaries are preceded by an introduction
that discusses the work and organisation of Anglican chaplains in the department and
how Gwynne came to have the role in it that he did. Together, they offer a unique
insight into a period of change for the army, chaplains and the Church of England
during a critical period of the war
