Essex Life review

Out in this month's Essex Life magazine:

Part of a series by Pen & Sword Publishing that focuses on individual towns in the Great War, Chelmsford in the Great War is a fascinating book that has been written by someone who is clearly fascinated by a global conflict that had a huge impact on local life.

Chelmsford in the Great War provides an account of the local men who went off to fight, but in the manner of all good books about World War 1, Jonathan Swan doesn't forget the people who were left behind and has written a book that will be a great addition to any local historian's collection.
