Historical
"Forgotten Voices of the Great War" was the surprise best-
seller at Christmas 2002, selling over 60,000 copies in
hardback alone. The formula was simple: Max Arthur
interviewed some of the 30 surviving British soldiers from
the First World War and combined their stories with other
interviews in the Imperial War Museum and various private
collections. "Last Post" is very consciously the last word
from the handful of survivors left alive in 2004. When they
die, our final human connection with the First World War
will be broken: after this book, we will have only
recordings or diaries. We will never be able to ask a
question of someone who was there.
