Items related to Britons Experience the Great War: Life at Home and...
Expertly written and beautifully presented, this book of outstanding photographs, documents and artwork captures the spirit of the British people as they faced and successfully came through the prolonged challenge of the First World War.
Using previously unpublished material from the Liddle Collection in the University Library at Leeds and supporting this with photographs from private and public collections from many parts of the British Isles, Britons Experience the Great War brings the experience of soldiers, sailors and airmen graphically close. It is, however, not just the fighting fronts which are so well represented: from the industrial, agricultural, domestic, educational and war resistance scenes, the response to war of workers, wives, sweethearts, students, children, rebels and resisters is made clear. Fund raising, rationing, humor, anxiety and grief are documented in this book in a way which provides touching testimony of the spirit of the times.
With almost four hundred illustrations, the book spans the British Isles and the most remote fighting fronts.
