A dedicated historian, Sian Price, has spent three years travelling the world and reading through 30,000 heart-rending letters to compile a touching collection of the final, moving letters written by soldiers to their families just before they died. The brave servicemen penned the missives to be read by their loved ones if they were killed.
The letters, spanning the 17th century to the present day, reveal the timeless truths of war in the words of fallen heroes throughout the ages.
Miss Price searched museums, libraries and military archives in the UK, Australia, Japan, Germany, France, USA, South Africa, Italy, Canada and New Zealand to find the most poignant writings.
