Between 1914 and 1918, as many as 8.5 million soldiers gave their lives in 'The Great War'. Many set off for the front lines filled with optimism and a belief that the war would be over in a few months. They soon learned of the true horrors of war. A few sought to share their experiences with the wider world as they wrote diaries, personal accounts of life in the trenches and poems.
