Throughout the war he continued to raise, train and fight this brigade at Gallipoli, in Egypt and Palestine, and finally on the Western Front in France during the second half of 1918, where he was wounded and invalided home in September. Before Gallipoli he wrote to Miss Walker, who was the daughter of a polo friend, and the correspondence continued up to their eventual wedding in October 1918 on his discharge from hospital. Dear Miss Walker includes a background to his prewar soldiering and exchanges with a bumptious young subaltern, W S Churchill, who was in his winning regimental polo team. Through the social exchanges of the writer and recipient and their backgrounds leading up to their wedding this book provides an interesting social perspective, as well as a vivid insight into the fighting at the respective fronts and the doings of senior ranks on active service. Further insights have been gleaned from the respective Regimental Histories that were written after the First World War, and included where appropriate. Most of the photographs that illustrate this volume were taken by Reginald Hoare himself. Sadly he never spoke about his experiences to his children, so no other record or source relating to his campaigns exist.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49537645543697,"sku":"GOR013239950","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1910777196.jpg?v=1751630142"},{"product_id":"sonnetry-book-toddy-hoare-9781788300094","title":"Sonnetry","description":"We think of Wisdom as remembering the date, While our forbears remembered to debate, What the event meant.

He takes us on a journey through Greek mythology to the Bible, from Yorkshire to Oxford to Marrakech, from nature to love and family. There are life experiences from dog walks to war, from art to architecture, from mindfulness to falling out. There are many moods and insights portrayed with something for every taste and mood.

He `took on' eight churches, spread across 12 villages, with a population of about 2,000, three schools and six village halls. This is the story of those years, and of how Toddy Hoare's family background and the early influences in his life stayed with him and became part of his ministry. Social and theological views are strongly held and expressed, whether on the daily practicalities of maintaining the fabric of historic churches and graveyards, pastoral care and chaplaincy, the place of hunting and shooting in rural communities, same sex relationships, or the ordination of women. There are also five poems. The book is illustrated with the author's sketches of Churches within the parishes, his designs for the covers of Parish magazines, and his sculpture. The cover image of the book itself is a self-portrait.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50913928970513,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50913929396497,"sku":"GOR013252849","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1905022379.jpg?v=1750996268"},{"product_id":"cameos-of-faith-book-toddy-hoare-9781666743340","title":"Cameos of Faith","description":"Cameos of Faith is a collection of theologically and spiritually inspired poems penned as reflections to stimulate or help in turn all readers to think, meditate, and pray a little more.

Uncle Peter's Story presents the Saint Peter of the Gospels as seen, heard, and recorded in the New Testament particularly by his nephew Saint Mark, who was also an eyewitness in Jesus' company during his earthly ministry. Saint Peter was a key figure in the human response to Jesus as a person and as the risen Christ. He recognized who Jesus was and proclaimed it at Pentecost when Holy Spirit was poured out on all disciples. Yes, he had failings too, as the story reveals, but he overcame them and learned about the truth he was called to reveal. His story shows the Peace be with you given in the upper room by the risen Lord taking root in a new Peter at Pentecost relying solely on Christ. Presented as a commentary mostly as if by Mark, this book aims to be an introduction to those new to reading the Bible, an aide-memoire to those more established in their Bible reading, and a stimulant to those preaching, teaching, and using Peter's story as a way into the Gospels or as food for prayer.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53637224268049,"sku":"NLS9798385254095","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9798385254095.jpg?v=1781003707"},{"product_id":"uncle-peter-s-story-book-toddy-hoare-9798385254101","title":"Uncle Peter's Story","description":"Im Laufe der Zeit hat sich die Kunstphilosophie auf die Untersuchung der Natur k nstlerischer Objekte und Praktiken konzentriert, die als k nstlerisch bezeichnet werden k nnen.
