Histories and Memories explores the conflict of personal memory and public history. History and Memory share time and space and give way to legacies that are preserved or hidden, challenging the perception of knowing and seeing. This book is an example of a resurrection of a hidden family memory that gives way to a buried history of Britain's past. The memory revived is born from one family photograph, hidden from view for more than 65 years, that depicts the tragic irony of the Great War and how it united a nation but tore one family apart.
