Description
The British soldier of the Great War has been depicted in many books. Invariably, a pen picture paints him as stoic, joining the army in a wave of patriotic fervour, and destined to serve four years on the Western Front in some of the most costly battles in history. However, the reality is often difficult to resolve for the reader. To gain a deeper understanding of life in the trenches, Remembering Tommy brings together stunning images of uniforms, equipment and ephemera, allowing us almost to reach out and touch history through the belongings of the soldiers themselves. This book pays tribute to the real British soldier of the Great War, conjuring the atmosphere of the trenches with unprecedented authenticity.
