Letters from the trenches : a soldier of the Great War

Harry Lamin was born in 1877 and left school at thirteen to work but by December 1916 he had been conscripted and sent to war. 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.
