Some were keen to enlist from the start, others were conscripted and some dead against. Eventually, all eight would be swept up into its devastating path as, despite astonishing displays of courage and strength of character, they met their fates on the battlefields of France, Flanders, East Africa and Gallipoli. Their's was a tragedy almost without parallel and one that has remained forgotten and unmarked for nearly 90 years. Until now...Kept in a small brown case handed down by the brothers' youngest sister, Edie, were hundreds of letters sent home from the front by the Beechey boys: scraps of paper scribbled on in the firing line and sent to their widowed mother Amy, heartfelt letters written from a deathbed, exasperated correspondences detailing the absurdities of life in the trenches. From it all emerges the remarkable tale of a family forced to sacrifice everything. 541 $d 20130425. 600 30 $a Beechey family $x History. 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918. 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918. $x Participation, British. 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918. $x Personal narratives, British. 650 7 $a Audiobooks. 650 7 $a Soldiers $z Great Britain. 650 7 $a Soldiers $z Australia. 650 7 $a Brothers $z Great Britain. 650 7 $a Brothers $z Australia. 650 7 $a Brothers $v Biography. 700 $a Ryan, Daniel. 700 $a Pilkington, Nigel. 700 $a Panting, Paul. 941 $a 1 952 $l FGPD194 $d 20150217055106.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9EB87DA6B67411E4914E0686DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
