"We knew nothing of Arthur Illingworth who was nine years old when the school photograph was taken of Standard 3 in 1890. He, along with Harry Riley and William Henry and the rest of the class of 30 were destined to live through some of the most traumatic years of European history - the gentle twilight of Edwardian England; the First World War; the twenties; the Depression and the prelude to the second catastrophic world war. Ian Dewhirst has skillfully pieced together the documentary and visual evidence of Arthur - a 'nobody' and his anonymous friends who lived through years which were to bring many of them the experience of bloodshed and deprivation and the complete transformation of their childhood world." - from the dust jacket.
