Samenvatting	This is a selection of letters, written between 1913 to 1918, between Vera Brittain and four young men - her fiance (Roland Leighton), her brother Edward, and their close friends, Victor Richardson and Geoffrey Thurlow. The letters present a portrait of five young people caught up in the cataclysm of total war. Roland, nicknamed Monseigneur , is the leader, and his letters most clearly trace the path which led from idealism to disillusionment. Edward, known as Immaculate of the Trenches , was the more orderly and controlled one - even down to his attire. Geoffrey, the non-militarist at heart , had not rushed to enlist, but felt compelled to put aside his objections to the war for patriotism's sake and volunteer. Victor, on the other hand, had wanted to convince himself that he could take... (Lees verder) on the mantle of the warrior and become a military hero. Possessed of sweetness of character, he was known to his friends as Father Confessor .
