"This is a remarkable account of a village's contribution to probably
the most appalling war that there has ever been and to those who were in
the Second World War, it brings home to how much more terrible was the
1914-18 War. It must have been a Herculean task to assemble all the
data, photographs and memorabilia and I only write to congratulate you
on what is remarkable achievement." - Lord Carrington
In addition to a full run of The Lee Magazine, the author has drawn on a
wide range of archive sources that include unpublished letters, diaries,
memoirs and newspapers. Fromelles 1916 gives an unrivaled insight into
the life and times of an English village in the First World War - a way
of life swept away forever by the changes ushered in by the conflict.
The book includes a guide to the Fromelles battlefield and new Pheasant
Wood cemetery.
