"By the beginning of the 21st century memories and photographs of Sudbury men lost in the two World Wars were fast fading and in some instances had been totally lost, the long list of surnames and initials on the war memorial revealing nothing of their lives and deaths. This book sets out to tell the stories of many of these lost lives and to reflect the town, in which they were lived..." 35393 Sudbury Territorials toll at Ypres disaster at Gallipoli the Zeppelin raid and World War Two Miracle of Dunkirk women 5th Suffolks captured at Singapore USAAF 486th EAST ANGLIA Price = 14.95 GBP Add to Shopping Cart
