Sinopsis
Blackpool was the Royal Army Medical Corps base during WW1, with 10,000 RAMC personnel in the town. When war broke out on August 4th 1914 the holiday season in the popular holiday resort was in full swing...and then the soldiers began arriving. First the regional regiments to train on the wide beaches and stay in the plentiful accommodation available. Then the munition workers and then the medics and along with the growing numbers of injured soldiers came the Belgian refugees. In 1917 the fresh faced young US medics of the base hospitals, straight out of university, made Blackpool their home for their education in the state of modern warfare before moving out to repair the damage to mind and body on the slaughter fields. It was a place where the War was reflected in both the weaknesses and strengths within the diversity of the human spirit of the generation that was thrown into it.

Acerca del autor
Colin Reed has contributed to the histories of his home town of Blackpool and of many of the personalities now remembered in the town's first municipal cemetery at Layton. He was born in Bispham, Blackpool where the grave of Alice Wrigley is situated in the parish church and which prompted the story of the burning ship on which, along with the tragic story of many others, she met her death.
