Somewhere in France: The Collected Letters of Lewis Windermere Nott January - December 1916 Edited by David Nott

In 1916 Lewis Nott wrote more than 130 letters to his wife, Doris, from World War I trenches on the Somme. The letters are about the tedium of war, the fear, the weariness, and fatigue. They are also the letters of a great and intimate love affair. The couple's son David found the letters after both his parents had died. They describe one man's experience of war, but the reader soon realizes the letters evoke everman's experiences of any war.
