MISSING

Descriere

The Need for Closure after the Great War. One the most extraordinary private investigations undertaken in the aftermath of the Great War. Aged 48 Angela Mond, a wealthy and well-connected socialite from London's West End, embarked on an exhaustive personal quest to find her son, an investigation that took her to the battlefields and cemeteries of WW1 France and into correspondence with literally hundreds of French civilians and British and German servicemen. In the meantime, as she searched, she bought the ground on which her son's plane had crashed and erected a private memorial to Francis, a memorial that still survives.
