The Good Soldier; A Selection Of Soldiers' Letters, 1914-1918 - N. P. Dawson

“Here are boys, all sorts of boys: French, English, Italian, American… These are soldiers’ letters written home.

The dead will rise again.” Each letter is introduced by a paragraph or two about the writer. - Summary by Author's Introduction and David Wales
