'Lost Tommies' brings together stunning never-before-seen images of
Western Front tommies and their amazing stories in a beautiful
collection that is part thriller, part family history and part
national archive. For much of the First World War, the small French
village of Vignacourt was always behind the front lines - as a
staging point, casualty clearing station and recreation area for
troops of all nationalities moving up to and then back from the
battlefields on the Somme. Here, one enterprising photographer took
the opportunity of offering portrait photographs. A century later,
his stunning images were discovered, abandoned, in a farm house.
Captured on glass, printed into postcards and posted home, the
photographs enabled soldiers to maintain a fragile link with loved
ones at home. In 'Lost Tommies', this collection covers many of the
significant aspects of British involvement on the Western Front,
from military life to the friendships and bonds formed between the
soldiers and civilians. With servicemen from around the world these
faces are gathered together for what would become the front line of
the Battle of the Somme. Beautifully reproduced, it is a unique
collection and a magnificent memorial.
