The First World War claimed over 995,000 British lives, and its
legacy continues to be remembered today.Stroud's Five Valleys in
the Great War offers an intimate portrayal of the region and its
people living in the shadow of the 'war to end all wars'. This
highly accessible volume explores themes of local reaction to the
outbreak of war; the experience of individuals who enlisted; the
changing face of industry and related unrest; the work of the
hospitals in the area; the effect of the conflict on children; the
women who defied convention to play a vital role on the home front
and how people coped with the transition to life in peacetime once
more. The Great War story of the Stroud Valleys - including Stroud,
Brimscombe, Chalford, Bussage, Woodchester, Stonehouse,
Minchinhampton and Rodborough - is recalled by those who were there
and is vividly illustrated with photographs, postcards, documents
and other First World War ephemera.
