Thanks for your tip! So I looked further on the net and: from the same author: "Harry Patch the last fighting Tommy", available at W.H.Smith. For those who are not that lucky and live on the cold and wet continent, W.H.Smith has it's bookstores there too! Mr. Van Emden (a Dutch name but he's British) seems to be a ww1 expert, as I read in googled reviews?
