Transcript of The Three Uncles (ebook)
Who are the Cole brothers?
Discover a tale detailing the lives, adventures and tragic deaths of three of the four brave young Cole brothers.
On the left is Clifford, standing in front is Fritz, behind is young R.F.C. pilot Maxwell and on the right is Cyril. This true story travels from the Battle of the Somme to the skies above Arras; from the Battle of Passchendaele to a small village in England where dreaded telegrams would arrive.
The research uncovered an extraordinary story that will resonate with a multitude of readers including researchers, historians and those interested in the First World War.
