Roland, Monseigneur, is the leader \u0026amp; his letters most clearly trace the path leading from idealism to disillusionment. Edward, Immaculate of the Trenches, was orderly \u0026amp; controlled, down even to his attire. Geoffrey, the non-militarist at heart had not rushed to enlist but put aside his objections to the war for patriotisms sake. Victor on the other hand, possessed a very sweet character and was known as Father Confessor. An important historical testimony telling a powerful story of idealism, disillusionment and personal tragedy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Virago","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45878240575686,"sku":"DADAX1844085708","price":13.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/9389\/1014\/files\/81H0pkoHZ7L.jpg?v=1779690966","url":"https:\/\/ergodemedia.com\/products\/letters-from-a-lost-generation-first-world-war-letters-of-vera-brittain-and-four-friends","provider":"Ergodemedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
