This is the story of an English provincial town during the years 1914-1918 and how the Great War affected its inhabitants, how they came to be involved, what happened to them and what this meant to those left behind. It is both a tribute to Cheltenham\'s lost generation and a commentary upon the influences which shaped the town in the 20th century. This book shows how a quiet, prosperous community was caught up in the emotions of the period. Researched over a 4 year period, it presents a compelling record drawn from a variety of sources. Over 1,000 black & white photographs are included in the book.Published 1997.Hardback. In very good condition. The dust cover is slightly worn.
