"ESSAYS, JOURNALS, LETTERS & OTHER PROSE WORKS. A history of the First World War told through hundreds of letters exchanged by ordinary British soldiers and their families. Letters from the Trenches reveals what people really thought and felt during the conflict and covers all social classes and groups - from officers to conscripts, servicewomen to conscientious objectors. Jacqueline Wadsworth skilfully uses the letters to tell the human story of the First World War - what mattered to Britain's soldiers, sailors and airmen and their feelings about the war; how the conflict changed people; and how life continued on the Home Front. Voices within the book include Sergeant John Adams, 9th Royal Irish Fusiliers, who wrote in May 1917:' For the day we get our letter from home is a red Letter day in the history of the soldier out here. It is the only way we can hear what is going on. The slender thread between us and the homeland."
