Edward, '' Immaculate of the Trenches'', was orderly \u0026amp; controlled, down even to his attire. Geoffrey, the ''non-militarist at heart'' had not rushed to enlist but put aside his objections to the war for patriotism''s sake. Victor on the other hand, possessed a very sweet character and was known as ''Father Confessor''. An important historical testimony telling a powerful story of idealism, disillusionment and personal tragedy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57317135745406,"sku":"NW9781844085705","price":14.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781844085705.jpg?v=1778720898","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-eu\/products\/letters-from-a-lost-generation","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
