British military labour during the First World War developed from
an ad hoc arrangement in 1914 into a corps some 400,000 strong,
supported by as many as a million dominion and foreign workers by
1918. Records of this contribution to victory are extremely rare.
George Weeks wrote down his experience on squares of wallpaper -
always a practical man. And what a record it is. The Somme,
Passchendaele and the Messines Ridge all feature in George's calm
description of his extraordinary experiences. He camped in 'the
vast graveyard of Cambrai', he cut down an entire forest for
duckboards, and he mended the aircraft of Captain Ball VC with dope
and linen! With the corps working on the front lines and often
under fire, this truly was dangerous work.
