For the former soldier, these journeys of remembrance offered a chance to pay homage to their past and to see what peace looked like in those places where they had only known war. Pilgrimage to the Western Front gathers together the first-hand accounts of veterans as they retrace their wartime footsteps and stand again at the scenes where they lived through history's bloodiest conflict. The fascinating reports reveal what they found on their return and their reflections and memories of places still healing from the devastation of the war years. Discover their emotions and what greeted the battle-scarred men as they revisited old haunts, met former friends and foes, and confronted their past. Illustrated with remarkable archive images of the destruction of post-war France and Belgium, many drawn from the collection of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, this volume features fifty personal stories spanning each of the interwar years. Join those who witnessed the Great War on a poignant voyage back to the Western Front and see a world recovering from one great conflict and edging towards another.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56304428319093,"sku":"9781781559130","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781781559130_4badc6a0-7826-4571-95d9-c0d658aafb55.jpg?v=1786026294"},{"product_id":"changing-histories-for-ks3-fragile-worlds-c-1870-present-day","title":"Changing Histories for KS3: Fragile Worlds, c.1870–present day","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChange the history that pupils learn at Key Stage 3.

Now for the first time hundreds of first person accounts of this most extraordinary period of history have been gathered together telling the story in their own words of the soldiers who met in peace in No Man's Land. The stories of men from English, Irish, Scottish and Welsh regiments who played and joked, sang and danced, swapped gifts and shared food and drink with the enemy before returning to war on the Western Front. ‘Christmas Truce By The Men Who Took Part’ is the largest collection ever drawn together of letters sent home by the officers and soldiers who laid down their guns and shook hands with their foes. The eye opening accounts of the unofficial armistice between German and British forces capture the trepidation and exhilaration, the curiosity, anger, joy and despair of that first Christmas on the unforgiving battlegrounds of the Great War.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57503844270453,"sku":"9781048101881","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781048101881.jpg?v=1786867564"}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/collections\/author-mike-hill.oembed","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
