Publisher's Synopsis
Millions of letters were written home by soldiers and sailors in the First World War and the men from Chiswick, West London, were every bit as prolific as their companions from elsewhere. Most of the letters in this book were sent to the Rev. Oldfield in Chiswick and he sent them on to the Chiswick Times, but there are others are to relatives, friends and employers and the Chiswick Working Men's Club, and there are interviews and reports from journalists in the Chiswick Times and the Acton Gazette. This is a unique record of the experiences of servicemen from the district who served all over the world.
