In 1916 Lewis Nott wrote over 130 letters to his beloved wife, Doris, from the trenches on the Somme. Somewhere in France is an astonishing collection of one man's experience of the Great War in all its cruelty, confusion and ironic beauty. Lewis Nott's letters are about the tedium of war, the fear, the weariness and the fatigue - they are also the letters of a great and intimate love affair. Through his father's letters, maps and photographs, David Nott has crafted an intimate portrait of his father's year on the front, somewhere in France.
