Notes
After their possibly miraculous escape from the German military juggernaut at Mons in 1914, many British soldiers really did believe that they had been saved by Angels. And on the Home Front interest in Spiritualism increased dramatically as the death toll rose. Based on original sources and archival research, the story told in this book is the very human one of people forced to look beyond the apparent certainties of traditional religion and orthodox science.
