Books, Manuscripts
Until now Hugh Butterworth was just one of the millions of lost soldiers of the Great War, and the letters he sent home from the Western Front had been forgotten. But, after more than 90 years of obscurity, these letters, which describe his experience of war in poignant detail, have been rediscovered, and they are published here in full.
