Description

Herman Cyril McNeile, MC (28 September 1888 - 14 August 1937) publishing under the name H.

C. McNeile or the pseudonym Sapper, was a British soldier and author.

Drawing on his experiences in the trenches during the First World War, he started writing short stories and getting them published in the Daily Mail.

As serving officers in the British Army were not permitted to publish under their own names, he was given the pen name "Sapper" by Lord Northcliffe, the owner of the Daily Mail.

McNeile's stories are either directly about the war, or contain people whose lives have been shaped by it.

His thrillers are a continuation of his war stories, with upper class Englishmen defending England from foreigners plotting against it.
