I bought the book which contains many of the letters the boys sent home, I haven't finished reading it yet but I'm getting there slowly, it's certainly an eye opener and brings vivid images to mind

Most of my great uncles were either too old or too young to serve, and both my grandfathers died before I was two, so I don't have any sense of what it might have been like to have served in a war, or what it was like for those left behind.
