This fantastic book chooses not to trace the journey of the horrors of the Western Front but instead looks at life back in Britain during the war, drawing upon sources which have not been tapped before. This provides a fanscinating insight into the other side of the story, one which I hadn't ever reallly thought of before.
I've been to see the cemetaries at Tyne Cot & Ypres & was deeply moved by them, I've seen Hill 60 & the tomb of the unknown soldier but I had never reallly had spared a thought for those left at home. This book reveals some amazing stories from amazing people.
My only complaint is that I wish the book was longer - every story deserves to be recorded so that the people of my generation know how easy their lives truely are.
