In July 1922 the Rotherham Advertiser requested that the people of
Rotherham remember the impact which the First World War had on the
town and the changes which had been made. They recommended that:
'it be placed on record how the town was transformed by its army
battalions, the recruitment drives which took place, the massive
loss of life, food shortages, queues and rationing, how women were
performing men's work and the zeppelin raids. Cannot the
Corporation set about the task of producing such a book?' Although
the Corporation was unable to produce such a book at the time, this
is the writer's own small attempt to try to redress that balance.
As we now know, the period of peace was to be tragically
short-lived, and this book extends that record to include the
interwar years and the years of the Second World War that followed.
Richly illustrated, and filled with true tales of local heroism and
of the unbreakable spirit of the people of Rotherham during these
tumultuous years, this nostalgic volume will delight locals and
visitors alike.
