Join Suffolk Records Society for the launch of their 69th volume. The book will be introduced with an illustrated talk by its editor, Paul Botwright. The diaries give a detailed account of Punchard's experiences in France, Belgium and on home service and also reveal the inner thoughts of an ordinary working man who served for the entire length of the war.
Supplemented with photos, postcards and some sketched plans, the diaries also cast light on his fellow soldiers from Ipswich and East Suffolk who fought with him in the 4th Battalion of the Suffolk Regiment. They include accounts of the battles of Givenchy, 2nd Battle of Ypres, and Neuve Chapelle (1914-15).
Copies of the book will be available at a special launch price.
