‘No-one, on either side of the conflict, had expected the fighting to end so quickly.’

‘After almost four years and four months of unrestricted and bitter international violence the Great World War came suddenly to an end with the signing of an armistice at five o’clock, French time, on the morning of  November 11, 1918.’

Tom’s follow up details how the war ended and the effects it had on people, especially those from the Holme Valley.

The book will be launched at New Mill Club on Thursday 25th of October, 7.30pm onwards, including a short presentation by Tom and a pea and pie supper.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat book about the Great War

This book is a poignant account of the many aspects surrounding this dreadful episode in our world history, and coming at the centenary year of the war, is in my mind, a fitting tribute to the very many who suffered.
Endings & Aftermath should be on someones “Best Sellers” list.

Thank you Mr. Ashworth for this most interesting Book, I was having a bad day with my illness when it arrived so instead of trying to do household tasks I started to read your Book and carried on reading for the rest of the day
Any one interested in the First World War who had relatives in the British Army will learn things they never learnt in History Lessons at school. What a dreadful war it was, I was born in 1928 so even after the ten years of peace we were still suffering in the aftermath.
