A
series of letters from the front tracing the experiences of a young Black
Country soldier in the First World War. The correspondence reveals his
mood changes from initial patriotic optimism to resigned fatalism. Sadly
he was killed in action and the correspondence concludes with letters
from his comrades and from the War Office explaining how he died. A very
moving book illustrated with contemporary photographs of the author, his
relatives, and his grave. The book is edited by his niece, Kathy Carter.
