{"product_id":"9781910500521","title":"Epitaphs of the Great War: The Somme","description":"\u003cp\u003eLimited by the Imperial War Graves Commission to 66 letters - and that included counting the space between each word as one letter - this first in a short series of books highlights what The Times called, 'the heart of the bereaved'; the thousands of silent voices that 'speak' from the war cemeteries. Voices which stand at the opposite end of the commemorative spectrum to the Cenotaph; an austere 'silent' tribute to the Empire's dead, the other a clamour of individual'voices', each one a personal tribute to an individual and cultural reference from the world which these soldiers and their families lived in.In this book, the selected epitaphs look at a variety of themes, tones and locations from both ordinary and famous backgrounds, the privileged and the poor- the officers and men who all lie in some corner of a foreign field. Second in the series publishing in 2017 will feature epitaphs from the Battle of Passchendaele (1917). A complete study of these epitaphs will be published to coincide with the centenary of the Armistice in 2018\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UNICORN PRESS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51185207050514,"sku":"9781910500521","price":23.96,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0508\/3093\/4173\/files\/9781910500521.jpg?v=1779228375","url":"https:\/\/bargainbooks.com.au\/products\/9781910500521","provider":"Bargain Books Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
