{"product_id":"letters-from-the-trenches","title":"Letters From The Trenches","description":"\u003cp\u003eHarry Lamin was born in Derbyshire in 1877 and left school at thirteen  to work in the lace industry but by December 1916 he had been  conscripted into the 9th Battalion York and Lancaster Regiment and sent  to war. Harry's letters home to his family describe the conflict with a  poignant immediacy even ninety years on detailing everything from the  action in battle to the often amusing incidents of life amongst his  comrades. Throughout the letters Harry's tone is unwaveringly stoical  uncomplaining and good humoured. Letters From The Trenches is a  fitting tribute to the unsung heroes of the Great War who fought and  endured and returned home and the one in six who did not. The letters  describe the war through the eyes of those who really lived it bringing  the horrors and triumphs to life for the twenty-first-century reader.  Edited by Harry's grandson Bill Letters From The Trenches tells  the moving story of a brave selfless and honourable man who endured  everything that the war could throw at him and still came up smiling.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxfordbookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44786589827251,"sku":"9781782431145","price":520.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/4164\/4723\/files\/blk_imp_17477292659781782431145.jpg?v=1762804151","url":"https:\/\/oxfordbookstore.com\/products\/letters-from-the-trenches","provider":"Oxfordbookstore ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
