Life Goes On - Simon O'corra - Bog

'Life Goes On' is a photographic book which commemorates the centenary of The First World War. It focusses on the ordinary moments experienced by all the men, women and children, both on the Home Front and on the Front line but not engaged in combat. The book portrays, through photographs and contemporary illustrations, the lives of these unseen families and individuals. It shows the joys, the hardships, the stoicism, the grief, the celebrations and the precious moments of peace, all experienced by those ordinary people whose lives continued despite the horrors of the trenches in Europe. They are the ones whose 'lives went on' and, through these photographs, we are able to know their stories.
