"The legacy of the Great War was just as deeply felt as the war itself and much longer lasting ... Every community supported dozens of damaged men ... We will remember them is the story of these men and their families, told in their own words. It depicts the dying months of the Great War, when victory was close, but would still claim the lives of tens of thousands. It describes the joys and disappointments of triumph, the shock of homecoming, and the painful readjustment to ordinary civilian life. And it shows how wives and children reacted to their men coming home -- often mentally and physically scarred, sometimes virtual strangers"--Jacket.
