Home to all three armed services, Plymouth was greatly affected by
both major conflicts of the twentieth century. Between 1914 and
1918, Devonport Dockyard was responsible for much routine repair
and maintenance work as well as building new ships and submarines,
while the Royal Marines and army battalions were active in various
theatres of war overseas, and Mount Batten became one of the major
stations of the newly formed Royal Air Force. During the Second
World War, few cities in England suffered more devastating damage,
with the heart of the old city destroyed and a death toll of 1,172.
Richly illustrated and filled with true tales of local heroism and
the unbreakable spirit of the people of Plymouth during these
tumultuous years, this book looks at how the city fared during the
wars and played her part in victory.
