The First World War claimed more than 995,000 British lives, and
its legacy continues to be remembered today. Great War Britain:
Guildford offers an intimate portrayal of the town 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 experience of individuals who
enlisted; the changing face of industry; the work of the many
hospitals in the area; the effect of the conflict on local
children; the women who defied convention to play a vital role on
the home front, and concludes with a chapter dedicated to how the
town and its people coped with the transition to life in peacetime
once more. The Great War story of Guildford is told through the
voices of those who were there and is vividly illustrated through
evocative images from the author's collection and from the archives
of The Guildford Institute.
