Shortly after the end of the First World War, the most popular London newspaper of the time, The Evening News, asked readers to send in their stories. Of the countless tales received, the newspaper selected 500 and compiled them into a book that is at once both amusing and poignant. This facsimile edition, complete with the original cartoons provided by famous wartime artist Bert Thomas, is a fitting tribute to the men who risked everything for King and country and whose voices and personalities shine out from the pages of this book.
