Blessed be St Enodoc: The Great War Story of a Cornish Church and those buried there

Trenches at Delville Wood, which you will read about in Paul's article.

Recently, we told you about the book Fought Like a Lion: The Life of an East End Soldier and its author, Paul Blumsom.  It is a superb book about Paul's grandfather, which includes some amazing previously undocumented information about Guy du Maurier.  To read more about Paul's book, please click here: https://www.dumaurier.org/menu_page.php?id=260

Today, we would like to share with you an article that Paul has written for The Western Front Association, which features Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch (Q) and his wife, Louisa.  Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch and his family were closely associated with Daphne du Maurier, and, as many of you will know, he has his own page on the Daphne du Maurier website.  

Paul's article, like his book, is beautifully written and hugely interesting, and it includes some super photographs.  One picture that I especially love shows Louisa serving tea to the men of the tenth battalion of the Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry in what I believe to be the Quiller-Couch's garden at The Haven in Fowey.  There are also several photographs of St Enodoc's Church and others relating more directly to the military history aspects of the article.
