Unknown Author

4.9/5 (31006 ratings)

Description:‘There’s never a minute of the day now that guns aren't firing. I write from my dug out in the O.P. Aeroplanes overhead, guns booming, rifles cracking, bullets swinging away, it’s the same thing day after day.’ As a boy, Alan Lloyd could never have imagined the harsh realities of the war he would one day fight in. In this retelling of his story, using extracts from diaries and correspondence, including Alan’s letters to his wife from the front line, Isobel Charman has woven together the tale of a journey from privileged young man to officer fighting for his life and country in World War One. Descended from the Lloyds banking family, Alan grew up wanting for nothing. He studied at Cambridge, where his life revolved around rowing, cricket and planning his future. After university, he fell in love with Dorothy and set about forging a career in farming, but then, just as the couple were ready to settle down, war broke out. Against the wishes of his devout Quaker family, Alan joined the army. In July 1915 he left for France, where his life became one of guns, trenches, death and survival in the Great War. This is the full account of Alan Lloyd’s life, whose experiences were featured in ITV’s The Great War: The People's Story. The stories from the television series, form a set of personal, moving and at times humorous accounts of courage, love and loyalty in one of the worst wars in modern history. The other books are: Kate Parry Frye – The Long Life of an Edwardian Actress and Suffragette by Elizabeth Crawford, Reg Evans DCM – A Hero’s War in His Own Words by Pamela Armitage Campbell, and The Great War – The People's Story by Isobel Charman, which accompanies the series and includes the entire story of the war, featuring all of the characters.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
