Irene ‘Winkie’ Gartside-Spaight in No Man’s Land, c.1916, by Mairi Chisholm (here is a photograph of her, she is on the right, in a good piece on the BBC website about her and Elsie Knocker). Our other two First World War novels, apart from William – an Englishman, are Wilfred and Eileen and The Happy Tree; and then there is Nicholas Mosley’s marvellous biography of Julian Grenfell.
