This is the story of a life dedicated to public service, reported by The Times as it unfolded. From her time as a young princess to that as an internationally admired head of state, Queen Elizabeth has always fascinated and intrigued.

Published to commemorate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, this detailed profile features essays, articles and full-colour images drawn from The Times archives.

Writers from The Times and leading royal historians – among them Ben Macintyre, Kate Williams and Hugo Vickers – salute her achievements and offer insights into what lies behind the public façade of the Crown.

Selection of more than 300 letters published by The Times newspaper between 1914 and 1918, as its readers and the nation alike endured the ordeal of the First World War.

Much of the correspondence relates to the con?ict – the news, or absence of news, from the trenches and the sacri?ces being made on the Home Front. Celebrated politicians and the man on the Clapham omnibus both responded to the horrors of gas and the slaughter on the Somme.

Yet it was at this time, too, that the newspaper’s famous letters page began to take on its distinctive nature, ?nding room for off-beat or humorous topics and writers who held up a mirror to Britain’s character and its changing moods.

Among those who wrote to The Times during the war were many of the most notable ?gures of the era, such as Arthur Conan Doyle, HG Wells, Millicent Fawcett, Edith Wharton, Nancy Astor, Edith Cavell, David Lloyd George and Winston Churchill.

With insights and opinion on diverse subjects such as;
the Russian Revolution
Women’s suffrage
the ?rst Zeppelin raids
the rearing of guinea fowl for shooting

Great War Letters shines a light on the world of a century ago at the very moment in time that it was about to change forever.
