About the author
Born Ernest Andrew Ewart and published under the pen name Boyd Cable, he was a writer, journalist, and war author whose work is closely linked with the First World War. Sources retrieved for this overview identify him with the pseudonym Boyd Cable and connect his books with firsthand, deeply observed writing about life at the front.
His best-known books include Between the Lines, Action Front, and Grapes of Wrath. The material I found consistently describes his writing as direct and soldier-centered, with a strong focus on the daily strain, danger, and human detail of wartime experience.
There are some conflicting biographical details in the sources available here, especially around his birth year and background, so it seems safest to say that he lived from 1878 to 1943 and is remembered chiefly for war writing published under the name Boyd Cable.
