2006 "BRITAIN'S LAST TOMMIES" WW1 MEMOIRS PAPERBACK BOOK (P3)

Great paperback book from 2006 on the final memories of soldiers of by WW1. Contains photos. Binding and pages inside are in great condition especially as the book is 18 years old.

It is now more than ninety years since the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, and, incredibly, a very few of the six million men who served in that bloodiest of wars are still alive. In BRITAIN'S LAST TOMMIES can be found the stories of those men, and of those who lived to a very old age and died only recently. They tell in their own words of suffering and courage, of humour and comradeship and of experiences that some of them say they would not have missed for the world, in spite of the cost.

Richard van Emden has interviewed veterans over many years and has not only recorded their words and given a brief historical background to each chapter, but, uniquely, included his own memories of these remarkable men, so that in the book we get to meet and know them. This book is a heartfelt tribute to those few old soldiers who today represent the sacrifices of a whole generation that gave itself in the cause of liberty in the course of the Great War.

In reality, ECONOMY takes up to 2 weeks to Western Europe, up to 5 weeks to Eastern Europe, up to 6 weeks to USA & Canada, up to 8 weeks to Asia and up to 3 months to Australia/New Zealand. Sometimes deliveries can be before these estimates (eg. USA sometimes receives packages in 2 weeks) but best be prepared for the longest estimate. Economy does not have tracking.
