Product Description
Peter Barton - author of Beneath Flanders Fields.
‘A deeply gratifying and thought-provoking book...full of human interest and insight...a must read.’ --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
Book Description
It is now eighty-seven years since the First World War ended and the survivors returned to Britain to re-build their lives. Veterans - The Last Survivors of the Great War accompanied the celebrated two-part BBC1 documentary of the same name.
Veterans, talking openly for the first time about their experiences, give powerful testimony, a final insight into the war which has shaped the 20th century. Their stories, moving and heartbreaking, funny and perceptive, tell of how a new volunteer army went to war in 1914 to fight in such brutal battles as Loos, the Somme and Passchendaele.
The Home Front, too often forgotten in books about the First World War, is also brought alive through the testimony of loved ones who stayed at home. Nurses tell of caring for the wounded, a munitions worker labouring in the factories. But perhaps most moving of all are the testimonies of children who lost fathers and young women, their fiancés.
This evocative book is illustrated with a unique collection of private photographs, many published here for the first time. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
