linda, have you read any of jacqueline winspear's 'maisie dobbs' mysteries? they are set beginning a few years after the end of world war l. they have dealt with the aftermath of the war, in injuries to the body and spirit of those who survived and also to the emerging role of women. they are an excellent and sometimes heartbreaking read.

The photograph of those injured men is heartbreaking, more so because of their natty attire.
My WW1 reading was Pat Barker's Regeneration trilogy, especially the first novel. Very powerful, very emotional.

I have read all the Maisie Dobbs novels and also the Ian Rutledge mysteries which deal with the same period. He is a WWI veteran who returns to his job as a Scotland Yard detective but is plagued by what is essentially post-traumatic stress.

If you haven't read them, you might enjoy them. The author is Charles Todd.

Linda-

My grandfather fought in WW1...but never spoke of his experiences there. I've often wondered what happened to him. The Ian Rutledge books are very good...especially when the authors (son & mother team) describe life on the battle field. I'll have to check to see if our library has this book...thanks for posting about it.
