Billericay in the Great War by Stephen John Wynn
How the experience of war impacted on the town, from the initial enthusiasm for sorting out the German Kaiser in time for Christmas 1914, to the gradual realisation of the enormity of human sacrifice the families of Reading were committed to as the war stretched out over the next four years. A record of the growing disillusion of the people, their tragedies and hardships and a determination to see it through. AUTHOR: Stephen is a retired Police officer, having served with Essex Police as a Constable for thirty years between 1983 and 2013. He has written 5 previous books, one on the Afghanistan War, one detailing a German POW Camp and three fiction titles. Ken is also retired, having spent his working life in accountancy as a finance director. These days he is a very well-respected local historian of many years standing. He was born under the very shadow of St Nicholas Church and hasn't ventured that far away from it over the years, still living in the Great Berry area of Langdon Hills today. 50 b/w photographs
