Title: War memorial
Description: Who were the men and women whose names are commemorated on war memorials around the country? Where did they live - and how and why did they die? Such questions usually go unanswered. This book unravels the story of one war memorial, in the Dartmoor village of Lydford, tracing the lives of the twenty-two men and one woman who made the supreme sacrifice. ... For the first time, their experiences of war are recounted in vivid detail through original documents: from the battles of the First and Second World Wars to more recent times in the Falklands and Iraq. ..."--Jacket.
