The Bickersteth Diaries: 1914-1918

"Deserves to become a classic in the literature of war." —The Daily Telegraph The Bickersteth Diaries: 1914-1918 is a studiously edited version of the eleven volumes and more than three thousand pages of the diarist's original work. Ella Bickersteth began to put it together for her six sons on active service throughout the British Empire at the outbreak of World War I. Reflecting upon church and politics, theological musings and matter-of-fact details, this book reveals how an anxious mother, who was also a busy vicar's wife, kept going through the huge upheaval of war.
