Book: Antiques Roadshow: World War One In 100 Family Treasures
FIRST World War mementos which belonged to 100 men and women in the British forces and are still owned and treasured by their descendants, are the theme of this fascinating book. Last year, the BBC’s Antiques Roadshow sought families which had a relative who had taken part in the war and a story to tell about them.
They also had to produce an object that was part of that story and a family member to relate the tale. Thousands of people responded to the appeal and 50 items were selected, which formed the backbone of two special programmes.
