Carol Rosenhain’s moving book describes the extraordinary work of James Lean. During WW1 it was his role in Base Records to receive and answer the correspondence of distressed families seeking news of missing loved ones, and it was he who personally wrote a condolence letter to the family in every single instance where one our service men or women was killed.
