This Beastly War, 1914-18: Wyndham Family Letters

By James Melik

 

The First World War tore families apart and changed the Edwardian world forever.

This book gives a first-hand glimpse into the lives of one of those families, by documenting the personal letters they wrote to one another between 1914 and 1918.

Like every other family they, The Wyndhams knew, they were intimately affected by the war.

The majority of these letters are written by, or addressed to, Charlotte Wyndham, the staunch matriarch of the family.

She has to sit by as her sons go off to fight, while her daughters lives are changed forever, as they volunteer in hospitals or have to adjust to a life without their sweethearts.
