The First World War claimed over 900,000 British lives, and its legacy continues to be remembered today. This book offers an in-depth portrait of the town and its people during the war to end all wars. It describes the local reaction to the wars outbreak; charts the experience of individuals who enlisted; shares many first-hand experiences, including tales of the Zeppelin raids and spy hunts of the era; examines the work of local hospitals; visits local POW camps; and explains how the city and its people coped with the transition to life in peacetime.
