"True Life Tales From The War
Somme Letters Home's saga of the strange adventure and
horrible trial of World War I bears an unmistakable ring of
authenticity. Richard Cronin is unflinching in his metamorphosis
from a bright-eyed and patriotic recruit into a war weary doughboy
starring death in the face. Jenn McCaw is his sister Molly reading
the letters aloud to their mother, and her anxious face bears all
the pressures of the war at home. More than just a history lesson
Somme Letter Home opens up a window to the past and gives life
back to those who gave theirs for their country."
