Description:
Based on the sound archive from the Imperial War Museum, this tells the story of the Great War in the words of the men and women who were there.
What strikes you most about this collection is the almost matter of fact way people talk about the most amazing things they did, or had to endure. Also the naive optimism shines through, like the Cambridge student who joined up in August 1914 convinced he would be home again in time to start term in October! Year by year, the war unfolds through the words of those who were there.An eye-opening collection of reminiscences.
