This is the story of these men – epitomised by the character of Sgt Tommy Atkins – and the women they left behind.\u003cbr\u003e\nUsing previously unseen letters, diaries, memoirs and poetry from the years 1914-1918, Richard Holmes paints a moving picture of the generation that fought and died in the mud of Flanders. He follows men whose mental health was forever destroyed by shell shock, women who lost husbands and brothers in the same afternoon and those who wrote at lunchtime and died before tea.\u003cbr\u003e\nGroundbreaking and critically-acclaimed, this book tells the real story of trench warfare, the strength and fallibility of the human spirit, the individuals behind an epic event, and their legacy. It is an emotional and unforgettable masterpiece from one of our most important historians.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780007137527\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.7 x 5.3 x 1.9 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50099813220656,"sku":"Trans_9780007137527","price":725.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/61N5yFLc6bL.jpg?v=1756471473","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/tommy-the-british-soldier-on-the-western-front","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
