About this ebook
Private Albert Turley, an ordinary British soldier of the First World War, died on the Somme for King and Country. Like thousands more soldiers, he left neither letters nor diaries from which to reconstruct his story. This book focuses on the history of the 3rd Worcestershire, his regiment, and reveals what happened to Private Albert Turley.
