About this product

Product Information

With trademark precision, Robert Edric brings to life the tragic and noble work of the War Graves Commission in the wake of the Great War. Morlancourt, Northern France, 1920In the aftermath of the world's bloodiest conflict, a small contingent of battle-worn soldiers remains in France. Captain James Reid and his men are tasked with the identification and burial of innumerable corpses as they come to terms with the events of the past four years.The stark contrast between the realities of burying men in France and the reports of honouring the dead back in Britain is all too clear. But it is only when the daily routine is interrupted by a visit from two women, both seeking solace from their grief, that the men are forced to acknowledge the part they too have played.With his trademark unerring precision, Robert Edric explores the emotional hinterland which lies behind the work done by the War Graves Commission in the wake of the First World War.

  • a lightweight look at an horrifically sad duty

    too much of a novel, less story about how they actually operated and identified corpses etc.If you are inter ested in WW1 as such, this is not the book for you.
