Edward, ' Immaculate of the Trenches', was orderly \u0026amp; controlled, down even to his attire. Geoffrey, the 'non-militarist at heart' had not rushed to enlist but put aside his objections to the war for patriotism's sake. Victor on the other hand, possessed a very sweet character and was known as 'Father Confessor'. An important historical testimony telling a powerful story of idealism, disillusionment and personal tragedy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxfordbookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44791018553523,"sku":"9781844085705","price":799.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/4164\/4723\/files\/blk_imp_17478096489781844085705.jpg?v=1762850062","url":"https:\/\/oxfordbookstore.com\/products\/letters-from-a-lost-generation","provider":"Oxfordbookstore ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
