Über den Autor
David Hutchison is recently retired and has always regretted not reading history when he was at Cambridge University. He was delighted to have the opportunity to study a huge collection of family papers he discovered, all unread for a 100 years, and containing not only over a thousand letters, but journals, maps, order papers and medal citations, all pertaining to family members on the Western Front in WW1. Over the last two years, he has transcribed the papers, travelled to Flanders many times and researched the documentation in military libraries and the National Archives.
