His letters home describe the conflict with a poignant immediacy, even ninety years on. This is the story of a brave and honourable man who endured everything that the war could throw at him, and still came up smiling.

...this selection, edited by Harry's grandson, provides a rare insight into the everyday experiences of the war's unsung heroes.
The progress of the original blog and its development into this book has been an incredible and exciting experience. The blog was originally launched just to see if there was any interest out there. The popularity of that material exceeded my wildest expectations. The extent of the readership was staggering. There were over two million page loads in 2008. Even more gratifying were the thousands and thousands of expressions of support and delight that were received via the blog's comments pages.
Eventually, it became quite clear that the material was strong enough to convert successfully to book form. In the latter part of 2008, I undertook that task. The challenge was to convert a successful publication from the medium of the internet into book form. It was essential to make it significantly different, whilst retaining the freshness, simplicity and charm of the original. It was by no means a simple task but I am pleased with the end result. I hope that the reader shares that view.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Harry Lamin was born in Derbyshire in 1877 and left school at thirteen to work in the lace industry, but by December 1916 he had been conscripted into the 9th Battalion, York and Lancaster Regiment and sent to war. Harry's letters home to his family describe the conflict with a poignant immediacy, even ninety years on, detailing everything from the action in battle to the often amusing incidents of life amongst his comrades. Throughout the letters, Harry's tone is unwaveringly stoical, uncomplaining and goodhumoured. Letters From The Trenches is a fitting tribute to the unsung heroes of the Great War who fought and endured and returned home, and the one in six who did not. The letters describe the war through the eyes of those who really lived it, bringing the horrors and triumphs to life for the twenty-first-century reader. Edited by Harry's grandson, Bill, Letters From The Trenches tells the moving story of a brave, selfless and honourable man who endured everything that the war could throw at him, and still came up smiling. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR003398586
