Notification of the launch of a new ebook that should appeal to Legion members with an interest in the First World War.

WAR LETTERS VOL 1.

War Letters 1914–1918, Vol. 1 is based on the letters of Wilbert Spencer, a 17 year-old British officer who enlists in August 1914 and dies in the Battle of Neuve Chapelle in March 1915. Engaging, emotional and full of character, it is hard to imagine anyone not being moved by Wilbert’s letters.
