Everyone involved in this project, whether as individuals or representatives of an organization, finds some point of personal connection, across generations, with the Great War. All are honoured to be involved in bringing the Draycott diaries – hitherto little known – to the wider attention they deserve, locally, nationally, and further afield. The enthusiasm of all our participants confirms our conviction that diverse audiences will learn from, and be moved by, the voice of Walter Draycott as he fought on the battlefields of Europe a century ago.
