The military toll of World War I is widely known: millions of
Britons were mobilised, many thousands killed or wounded, and the
landscape of British society changed forever. But how was the
conflict experienced by the people of Surrey on the home front?
Surrey Heritage's project Surrey in the Great War: A County
Remembers has, over the four-year centenary commemoration, explored
the wartime stories of Surrey's people and places. The project's
discoveries are here captured through text, case studies and
images. This book chronicles the mobilisation of Surrey men, the
training of foreign troops in the county, objection to military
service, defence against invasion, voluntary work and fundraising,
the experiences of women and children, shortages, industrial supply
to the armed forces and the commemoration of Surrey's dead. Drawing
heavily on the rich archives of Surrey Heritage, it is an engaging
exploration of a county in the shadow of the first globalised war
between industrialised nations.
