My grandfather fought in both the Boer and 1st World Wars; he never
spoke of his experiences. When he died we discovered a box
containing letters, photographs, press cuttings and his medals.
Since then I have tried to piece together his war time record. When
I tried to teach secondary aged children about the poetry of the
1st World War many found it hard to grasp the enormity of it all,
until I bought in my grandfather's memorabilia - suddenly it all
clicked. I tried to find a book that would combine the history of
the Great War with the poetry and the poets, but couldn't find one.
So I set about writing this book. Including all of the Great War
poems in their context, the book also features a section on the
materials my grandfather left and also some research that I have
recently done into his family history.
