During this month, each weekday I'm posting an image showing Cornwall's First World War.
Here, it's August 1914; war has just broken out. In Redruth a rush of volunteers takes place as men step forward to join the fight. Shepherding the recruits are two regular soldiers. The new men wait on the town's station platform; they're travelling up-country to begin military training. For many, this will be the last memory of where they'd grown up.
My book, 'Cornwall In The First World War', is published by
Truran. With 112 pages and 100 images, you'll find it in bookshops across the
Duchy. It's also available through Amazon: http://amzn.to/19JbtZm
