Autorenporträt
Tanya Britton, a writer and local historian, was reference and local studies librarian with Hillingdon Libraries for many years. A researcher with a long-held interest in the history of the First World War, she realized during her time with the Library that very few local history volumes recorded what went on during the war. This volume aims to put that right.
