Below is a short description of some of our forthcoming books.
| Dorchester Remembers by Brian Bates During the Great War of 1914-18 over 1100 men enlisted from the small market town of Dorchester. Most of them survived that terrible conflict and returned home to tell their own unique stories. Those who did not are commemorated on the Borough’s war memorials and in its two cemeteries. This book gives a voice to those men and one woman who did not survive. Through their always poignant and sometimes surprising personal stories the impact of the war on each individual and their families is revealed. But more than this, these stories weave together to shine a light on the impact the war made on the very fabric of Edwardian Dorchester. Due to be published Spring 2012 |
