Description

Explore a life that reflects the changing landscape of Late Victorian and Edwardian England. This biography by Routledge follows the journey of Gerald Howard-Smith, a man whose personal history serves as a window into a specific era of British history. From his upbringing in London to his education at Eton and Cambridge, the book tracks his path from a successful athlete and solicitor to a prominent figure in the Wolverhampton sporting community. As a member of the so-called 'Lost Generation,' Howard-Smith's story is deeply connected to the impact of the First World War. Readers will follow his transition from a life of cricket, athletics, and local prominence to volunteering for military service in 1914. This historical biography provides a detailed look at the lives of those whose paths were altered by the onset of global conflict, making it a compelling read for those interested in British military history and social biography.
