Stanford, John. (Ed). - The Great War: Letters Home. Letters and Diaries of a South African Family 1913-1920.

Mvusi 2020. 249pp illustrated paperback. A Mint copy. ISBN: 9780986979156 From 1913 to 1920 the Molteno-Murray family published a private journal called 'Chronicle Of The Family' providing new of the family scattered throughout South Africa, Britain, and Kenya. From 1914 the Chronicle included letters from the family serving in the military and medical corps, with letters from German East Africa, South West Africa, the trenches of France and naval battles. News from home continued with accounts of life of a Karoo farm, a horse trek in Basutoland, and more. John Stanford is a direct descendent of one of the original editors of the Chronicle. The writings impressed him with their eloquence and "delightful respect and courtesy" thus deciding him to make a selection for further publication. After 100 years they still retain the immediacy of first-hand experience.
