Rutland and the Great War – high quality hardback book – Monday 4th August

On Monday 4th August, a high quality new edition of George Phillips’ major work will go on sale from Rutland County Museum and selected other outlets.  Created by the Lord Lieutenant of Rutland’s Committee for First World War Commemoration, this 332 page hardback publication uses the original text of the 1920 edition, with enhanced pictures and illustrations on 130gsm silk paper, with a full colour dust jacket.  This long out of print definitive history of Rutland’s sacrifice in the Great War has been much sought-after, with copies selling on eBay for hundreds of pounds.  Standard copies of this new edition will retail for £15, with deluxe limited edition signed copies available for £20.  Orders can be made via Rutland County Museum, tel: 01572 758440           Email: museum@rutland.gov.uk
