Beschreibung

'Napoo', 'compray', 'san fairy ann', 'toot sweet' are anglicized French phrases that came into use on the Western Front during the First World War as British troops struggled to communicate in French. Over four years of war they created an extraordinary slang which reflects the period and brings the conflict to mind whenever it is heard today.
