But This is Our War

At the age of ninety, Grace Craig looks back to her youth and tells the story of the impact of the Great War on her family and friends. Letters from the young men on the Western Front are interwoven with her own memories of the war.

Grace Morris Craig was, in turn, a musician, architectural draughtsman, wife and mother, artist, and author. In her nintieth year, she produced her first book, which she began to write in order to tell her grandchildren about the Great War, the single most important event in her long life. The result, But This Is Our War, speaks to young people across the generations.
