Default Great War Kindle Books

I hope this is the right place for the following. I have saved quite a few free books on my Kindle over the last couple of years, and just thought I would share the titles here. I am sure members will have read many of them, but am posting in case any are of interest.

If anyone knows of any titles online that I have missed, I would be very grateful to hear about them. Apologies that I have not included any links, but I am pretty sure that the book can very quickly be found by copying and pasting to Google.

Cheers,

Chris

Glad it was of interest. Appreciate the comment, thanks.

Read all of the last block and many of the others, though not all. Didn't manage cover to cover of War Pensions and Allowances!

I used to have a long train journey to work so got through quite a few. I then went and got an iphone which is the worst thing I could have with respect to reading more. I should just cast the thing off a bridge.

Cheers,

Chris

Thanks very much, gentlemen. It is very impressive how many they have transcribed/scanned. I have not looked in about a year, so there are probably even more on there now.

Cheers,

Chris
