A Patriot’s Progress: Henry Williamson and the First World War, Anne Williamson (Sutton Publishing, 1998) (Review) |
Dr Blench feels that the book is valuable as an accurate and detailed account of HW’s life during the war, including full reproduction of his letters home, his diary entries and his military notebooks kept in the battlefield, which also have an historical usefulness as a record of that war. These real -life facts can be related to and compared with his later writings. |

A Patriot’s Progress: Henry Williamson and the First World War,Anne Williamson (Sutton Publishing, 1998) Rawling, William (Review) |
A reprint of a review by William Rawling (National Defence HQ, Ottawa, Canada) which first appeared in Albion, vol. 32, no. 1, Spring 2000 (Appalachian State University, Boone, USA) a quarterly journal concerned with British studies. Rawling considers the book, with its multi-level narrative which captures the variety and subtleties that made up a soldier’s experience, to be a primary source for the historian of the First World War. Anne Williamson reproduces Henry Williamson’s letters home to his mother, his diary entries, and his official field notebooks and interweaves them into commentary on the fabric of the war on the western front in Flanders and at home, his family and friends and the social history of England at that time. |
