Tolkien in East Yorkshire 1917 - 1918 : An Illustrated Tour

Had Tolkien not spent nearly 18 months convalescing in the East Riding of Yorkshire, he would probably not have survived the Great War. By August 1918, his battalion, the 11th Lancashire Fusiliers, had suffered so many casualties that the unit was disbanded. This text, which contains a number of previously unpublished details about the author's stay, is a ride around the corners of East Yorkshire that have a Tolkien connection.
