WELCOME TO

THE MAN OF KENT

WW1 WEBSITE

Welcome! I have an interest in WW1 as I believe it touched everyones lives and in many ways still does. It is not the purpose of the site to justify or glorify the war, just to tell everyone how it was. It is dedicated to all servicemen of all nationalities who after the war help shaped the 20th Century as a result of their experiences. Those who came home continued to suffer until their dying day, others became leaders, famous authors, poets and statesmen. The majority just got on with their lives, from King to commoner, their sacrifice was equal. They were all casualties. That era was one of self sacrifice a quality lost in todays individualism.

LIKE MANY FAMILIES MY WIFES AND MINE SUFFERRED LOSSES IN BOTH WORLD WARS

MY WEBSITE IS DEDICATED ESPECIALLY TO THESE MEN OF KENT

THEY WERE NEVER DESTINED NEVER TO RETURN TO PLANT THEIR CROPS IN THE GARDEN OF ENGLAND AGAIN.
