From back cover:

The de Clares came to England with William the Conqueror the fought to the death at Hastings and, in reward, he made the head of their family Earl of Windstone. The de Clares had been lords of all they surveyed ever since. The battle honours in their vast castle stretched from Crecy through Agincourt to Waterloo. They possessed wealth unimaginable, they wielded great power, they were bishops, ministers of the crown, generals and imperialists. The guns of August 1914 heralded the greatest war in history ... and for those that experienced it, the most terrible.

For King and country, the de Clares had always been prepared to give all, but could they survive a war that would take the best they had?

I picked this up a while ago

I am taking this along to the next Brisbane Bookcrossing meetup. If not picked up I will leave this somewhere.
