Walter Milward: Soldier and Coal Miner (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781905510481)

This is the story of one man from Kirkby-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire, who died in the First World War. Walter Milward, a miner at Annesley pit, enlisted two days after war was declared at the age of 39. He died in August 1915 of wounds received at Gallipoli, Turkey, and was buried at sea off Malta, leaving a widow and three young children. This memoir was written by his son Jack in the 1980s, and has been revised and edited for publication by Jack's niece (Walter's granddaughter). It includes photographs and other illustrations, as well as letters and postcards, many written by Walter.
