Every modern War has its home front, but the First World War - the Great War - was the first utterly to transform civilian life. In wors and images Home Front 1914-1918 tells this remarkable story, from Lord Kitchener's initial call in August 1914 for 100,000 army volunteers through to the armistice celebrations in 1918/19. The war years brought far-reaching changes to Britain, as ordinary people - from schoolchildren to the elderly, ladies to leisure to coal miners - struggled to adapt to new conditions and an often perilous world.
Rarely seen photographs, original letters, memos and personal testimonies bring to life the voices of very diverse individuals and contribute to this fully rounded picture of Home Front life.
