The First World War was the first conflict to mobilize all Britain, and this new Home Front affected the lives of every man, woman and child. While George V was issued with a ration card, thousands of ordinary women took up jobs traditionally done by men. And aerial bombardment made the effects of war astonishingly real. Discover here - in authoritative words, poignant testimonies and 150 revealing andvivid images-the varied and often surprising ways in which the people of Britain lived through it all.
