They Did Their Duty

Essex 100 Publications. They Did Their Duty is a book with three themes. Firstly it tells the story of Essex Farm and Calvaire (Essex) two First World War cemeteries in Belgium that will forever bear the Essex name. Secondly it gives an overview of the Essex Regiment in the First World War. In the third part it looks at the home front through the eyes of the local press, criss-crossing the county, to see what readers were given by way of news.
