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.
