Description: "The last twenty one British veterans of the First World War, the oldest 109, the youngest 104, describe in their own words the extraordinary changes that have occurred during their lifetimes. Born in the reign of Queen Victoria, all have lived as adults through the Depression, the Second World War and the Millennium, but for these men the Great War was the defing period of their lives. Some of them, mere boys at the outbreak, lied about their ages to join up. They saw action in the trenches, at sea and in the fledgling air services. Their words speak for an entire generation."--Jacket.
