Brothers at War - A First World War Family History Sarah Ridley

At the turn of the 20th century four brothers were born to the Baker family, Lionel, Arthur, Maurice and Harold. Over a hundred years later Eliza, one of Arthur Baker's great-grandchildren, and her mother, Sarah, decided to find out about these ancestors. They delved into the past to uncover for themselves the story of Lionel, Arthur and Maurice during the First World War. Using letters sent from the Western Front, a diary written in a prisoner of war camp and other documentary evidence, Eliza and Sarah uncover their fascinating family history of the First World War.

Brothers at War - A First World War Family History Bewertungen

An excellent account of the lives of four male ancestors and the parts they played in the First World War. The book is beautifully illustrated with photographs and excerpts from the family's archives and official sources. It is a superb resource that can be used by librarians and teachers to encourage children to research their own family histories and to learn more about the war and how it affected society at home and abroad. -- School Librarian 20120901 Sarah Ridley, with help from her daughter Eliza, has succeeded in combining a personal search through her ancestry with a broader view of the events of 1914-18. -- Cork Evening Echo 20120727

Über Sarah Ridley

Born in Suffolk, Sarah Ridley lives on the Suffolk/Essex border and is a writer and editor of educational books for children and young people. Recently, a life-long interest in history has led her to write books about the First World War, inspired by reading letters written by soldiers who served in the conflict. Brothers at War tells the story of uncovering the material held in her own family's archives. Dear Jelly sets letters written by soldier brothers to their younger sisters at its core. Teenage children keep Sarah busy when she isn't tied to her computer, and she relaxes by walking along river estuaries close to her home.
