ilkley remembers Posted 5 June , 2022 Share Posted 5 June , 2022 (edited) The wretched treatment of the Wheeldon family is well covered in Adam Hochschilds 'To End All Wars: A Story of Protest and Patriotism in the First World War'. The fate of Alices son Willie can be read on the Peace Pledge Unions excellent website https://menwhosaidno.org/men/men_files/w/wheeldon_wm.html Edited 5 June , 2022 by ilkley remembers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
