The Whole Armour of God: Anglican Army Chaplains in the Great War Parker Linda
The Whole Armour of God examines and reassesses the role of the Anglican army chaplains in the Great War. As with other groups such as army generals, the chaplains were given a bad press in the general disenchantment and iconoclasm of the 1920's and 30's. The tensions and ambiguities of their role in the trenches resulted in criticism of their achievements.
This book seeks to readdress the balance by using the words and actions of the chaplains themselves, interwoven into the events of the war, to show that many strove valiantly to bring the reality of God to the troops in the maelstrom of war. Popular literary figures such as Robert Graves and Siegfried Sassoon were particularly scathing and spoke to a wide audience. They gave a great deal of thought to the often conflicting demands of providing for the material and social needs of their men and maintaining their more spiritual role.
