Description: To mark the centenary of the start of World War I, the Antiques Roadshow team filmed a series of specials at the Somme, where the public brought in their family's war memorabilia and photographs. These 'antiques' weren't financially valuable, or in some cases even very beautiful, but the stories that came attached to these momentoes were priceless. This text takes 100 of the most fascinating and moving stories and shows how they fit in to the wider history that was occuring around them.
Notes: Includes index.
