British Postcards of the First World WarPeter DoyleLabel: Shire PublicationsDescription: Postcards sent by men on the front and to them by their families are among the most numerous and most telling surviving artefacts of the Great War. They tell us much about attitudes towards the war and provide a great insight into men's lives and into the thoughts and emotions of those left behind. Very different in their illustration and in their writing between the beginning of the war and the end postcards provide a social history of the war in microcosm. Illustrated with a wide range of postcards this is a fascinating look into the response of the British people to the horrors of the war.
This product would be a great fit for history enthusiasts interested in post-World War I history and finding unique mementos related to the conflict.
