Who This Author Is

Sheridan Le Fanu’s work here collects and frames wartime experience through images and brief commentary. The book uses postcards as primary artifacts, letting everyday visuals—frontline scenes, home-front moments and soldier portraits—suggest social moods and personal stories during the First World War.

Rather than a sweeping narrative, the collection pieces together fragments that reveal shifting attitudes, propaganda and private sentiment. Readers encounter how ordinary ephemera recorded grief, duty and memory, and how small-format postcards became a widespread medium for expressing and shaping wartime life.
