Well in time for our Christmas Wish Lists here is news of a
WW1-related book to be published on 2nd October 2017 by The History
Press. “Sand, Planes and Submarines: How
Leighton Buzzard shortened the War” by Paul Brown and Delia Gleave. To pre-order a copy please see the following
link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sand-Planes-Submarines-Leighton-shortened/dp/0750983701?SubscriptionId=AKIAJFLQEIYOLULAFUYQ&tag=wwwthehisto0b-21&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=0750983701
I am reliably informed there will be some WW1 poems written
by women munitions workers (see photo from the Bedfordshire and Luton Archives)
and a chapter about local nurses.
Definitely a must buy.
With thanks to Elise Ward who posted mention of the poems on
Debbie Cameron's Facebook Page Remembering Women on the Home Front WW1.
