Great War Britain Bradford: Remembering 1914-18, Paperback / softback Book

Great War Britain Bradford: Remembering 1914-18 Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

The First World War claimed over 995,000 British lives, and its legacy continues to be remembered today.

Great War Britain: Bradford offers an intimate portrayal of the city and its people living in the shadow of the 'war to end all wars'.

A beautifully illustrated and highly accessible volume, it describes local reaction to the outbreak of war; the increasingly difficult job of recruiting; the changing face of industry and related unrest; the growing demands on hospitals in the area; the impact of war on women and children left at home; and concludes with a chapter dedicated to how the city and its people coped with the transition to life in peacetime once more.

The Great War story of Bradford is told through the stories of those who were there and is vividly illustrated with evocative images.
