Books, Manuscripts
Henry Allingham is the last British serviceman alive to have volunteered for active duty in the First World War & is one of very few people who can directly recall the horror of that conflict. In this book, he vividly recaptures how life was lived in the Edwardian era & how it was altered irrevocably by the Great War.
