Publisher's Synopsis
Tommy Atkins At War: As Told In His Own Letters (1914) is a book written by James A. Kilpatrick that tells the story of the British soldiers during World War I through their own letters. The book is based on the letters written by Tommy Atkins, a generic name given to the British soldiers of the era. The letters give an insight into the lives and experiences of the soldiers on the front lines, including their thoughts, feelings, and daily struggles. The book covers a range of topics, including the soldiers' training, their experiences in battle, their relationships with their families and friends back home, and their hopes and fears for the future.
