Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Richard Morris, Pen & Sword Books Ltd. In 1912 Lieutenant General Sir Francis Lloyd was appointed to the supreme position reserved for Guardsmen, the command of the London Districts. The war saw an extension of his responsibilities to include the hospitals and main railway termini in the metropolis.

AUTHOR: After a career in the city of London, Richard Morris OBE has pursued a lifetime in the history of his home county, Essex, and its links with London.
