Description

Like so many families across the world, the Semple family were split apart by the First World War. While William and Robert were fighting the Germans in France, their younger sisters, Mabel and Jelly (Eileen), had to carry on with school back in England. To keep in touch, they wrote letters. The sisters treasured these letters, which gave snapshots of their brothers lives as soldiers. Many of the letters included cartoon illustrations to amuse the sisters.

The book presents these letters with their illustrations. After each letter the author has written a short commentary, drawing out the facts about the war that can be taken from it.

Altogether the book is a powerful and moving record of one family s experience of the First World War.
