Aprašymas

It is the oft-told tale of the First World War that there was a &quote;Missing Generation&quote; of men that gave their lives from Galipolli to the Somme, that never fulfilled their hopes and their dreams have fallen beneath the horrors of the battlefield. Lieutenant Stephen Hewett is commemorated on the Thiepval memorial in Flanders, silent and obedient to the duty to his country. His memorial is also to be found in his letters home that he wrote to his family and friends from the training ground, France and Belgium; surprisingly upbeat and even jolly in tone given the hardships and dangers he faced they make for a fascinating read.Author - Stephen H. Hewett. D. 1916.Introduction - F. F. Urquhart.Text taken, whole and complete, from the edition published in London, Longmans, Green and Co. 1918.Original Page Count - 114 pages.
