Items related to Heroes of World War I: Fourteen Stories of Bravery
These are the stories of fourteen men whose lives were changed the day that telegram arrived.
In 1914 they were accountants, shopkeepers and labourers. When they were called to arms they became soldiers, sailors and airmen, fighting in the mud of the trenches, navigating the high seas or flying in the very first aerial war. Miles from their homes and families, they were pushed to their very limits and forever changed by what they experienced. Not all of them came back again.
In Heroes of World War I Scott Addington tells the long-forgotten stories of fourteen brave men who rallied for their country. The voice of the ordinary soldier is typically overlooked by memories and histories of the First World War, and so this book is a tribute to them.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A broad and accessible history of ordinary men who became unsung heroes of the Great War In 1914 they were just ordinary men, going about their ordinary business, until one day that telegram arrived and their world was turned upside down. These are the stories of 12 ordinary men who were sent to fight and (sometimes) die for their country during the First World War. These are the stories of the accountants, the shopkeepers, and the labourers who found themselves living and fighting in the mud of the trenches, sailing on the high seas or fighting the very first aerial war. This is their story. They are all heroes. There have been numerous memoirs and histories of World War I but the voice of the quiet heroes is often lost. This is a narrative history conveying the heroism displayed by ordinary men in the trenches, in the air and at sea during WW1. AUTHOR: Scott Addington is an author and historian who runs a military research website and has been researching the stories of soldiers, sailors and airmen from the First World War for over ten years.
