The history of the First World War continues to attract enormous
interest. However, most attention remains concentrated on
combatants, creating a misleading picture of wartime Britain: one
might be forgiven for assuming that by 1918, the country had become
virtually denuded of civilian men and particularly of middle-class
men who - or so it seems - volunteered en masse in the early months
of war. In fact, the majority of middle-class (and other) men did
not enlist, but we still know little about their wartime
experiences. Civvies thus takes a different approach to the history
of the war and focuses on those middle-class English men who did
not join up, not because of moral objections to war, but for other
(much more common) reasons, notably age, family responsibilities or
physical unfitness. In particular, Civvies questions whether, if
serviceman were the apex of manliness, were middle-class civilian
men inevitably condemned to second-class, 'unmanly' status? -- .
