What Tommy Took to War by Peter Doyle

On the centenary of the Great War comes this poignant look at fifty objects never far from Tommy's side - official uniform, good-luck charms, phrasebooks, a sweetheart's letter, some unexpected and others more familiar. With sumptuous original photography and thoughtful text, this is life as the ordinary First World War soldier knew it.

Peter Doyle is a scientist, military historian and author. His previous books for Shire include The British Soldier of the First World War, and First World War Britain.

Chris Foster is an established artist, photographer, and originator of the Great War website Craven’s Part in the Great War (www.cpgw.org.uk). With Peter Doyle he has written for Shire British Army Cap Badges of the First World War and British Army Cap Badges of the Second World War.
