When I tried to teach secondary aged children about the poetry of the 1st World War many found it hard to grasp the enormity of it all, until I bought in my grandfather's memorabilia - suddenly it all clicked.

Including all of the Great War poems in their context, the book also features a section on the materials my grandfather left and also some research that I have recently done into his family history. < Less

About Graham Cooke

Author Image

Ex teacher, now involved in writing, web site design, IT training and speedway track maintenance!

Loves history and literature, hence the First World War poetry book, and reading and writing, hence all of the others.

Greatly enjoyed collating the materials from the Raleigh Expedition to India in 2011, the "Banaglore or Bust" project and the calendar.
