商品描述: "I watched your body disintegrate, / acid soaked, radiated, burnt in horror..."In When Will We Ever Learn? Nick Matthews uses vivid, brutal imagery to remind us of the horrors of the Great War.This is then contrasted with the beauty of the Somme today; "Wide pastures drift in greens and touch / of breeze across the fertile landscape / that here, just now, keeps all of us / quite free and total mellow," he writes in What I Feel. This tranquillity is emphasised by a series of photographs of the Somme taken by Nick, and artworks and photographs by acclaimed artists such as Bob Martin MBE and Julia Baxter.

He was also a Year Head and Manager of The Learning Resource Centre.His feelings for WW1 grew through his attachment to his maternal Grandfather Sidney Bushell. ‘Syd' was from Birmingham and before the war was, - ‘Birmingham's Premiere Versatile Entertainer',- Syd Blackshields.
