This book comes in two seperate parts. The first part is dedicated to the
call-up and training of 'The Famous Fifty' of the Royal Leicestershire
Regiment. 'The Fifty' all originating from the Coalville area of Leicester and
men who fought together in the Great War. The book follows the fighting and
horrors these men endured. It does so by aiding the reader with first class
maps, letters, pictures and moving personal accounts from from some of the
'Fifty'. These accounts cover many of the battles on the Western Front.
The second part of the book concentrates on individual accounts of each of the
'Fifty'. It covers their lives prior to the Great War, and if they survived
their lives after.
This is a very well research book which gives the reader an excellent insight
into the Great War. It is well referenced and the index is first class.
Signed copies can be obtained from the author at £16.00 + £3.00 p & p.
