Geordie's War

More about the book

Focusing on the remarkable survival of George Matthew Richardson during the Great War, this memoir delves into his experiences on the frontlines and the recognition he earned, including the Military Medal and Bar. Despite his bravery, he remains largely forgotten by those around him. Alan Richardson weaves a narrative rich in wit and charm, blending personal history with broader cultural and regional themes. Enhanced by a foreword from Sting, this work serves as both a tribute to Richardson and a reflection on the war's impact on families, especially in the Geordie community.
