Have you already read Ian Hay's books on WWI? They're first-hand accounts from a junior officer. Also, they're available from Project Gutenberg, which is financially convenient (if you've found any comfortable way to read ebooks; I have several that are great for me, including on my phone).
Here it is: The First Hundred Thousand (http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/12877).
It's also the source for the "surprise party departnment" and "practical joke department" in Heinlein's Glory Road. (Hay's third one was "round games department", which Heinlein changed to "Surprise Party department" for American consumption).
