Home Fires Burning: The Great War Diaries of Georgina Lee($34.95Value)

Description

Written for her baby son, Georgina Lee’s diaries offer a comprehensive, day-by-day account of the First World War on the British Home Front. From the panic of August 1914 to the euphoria of 1919, Mrs. Lee faithfully recorded the war's impact on civilian life, from the rush to hoard food and stock-market mayhem to conscription and air raids. Gavin Roynon served as a National Service officer with 13th/18th Royal Hussars, then read Modern Languages at Worcester College, Oxford. He went on to teach French, German and History at Eton College before retiring from teaching in 1999. Gavin’s first book, Massacre of the Innocents , was published by Sutton in 2004.
