There are 37,780 First World War memorials in Britain, listing
names from all walks of life - estates, villages, places of work.
They stand as landmarks to a defining period in British history -
and yet one which is in danger of slipping away from popular
memory. NOT FORGOTTEN is a revealing look at the untold stories
that lie behind these lists of names - stories of the impact of
World War One on British society, the echoes of which can still be
felt today. More than a conflict overseas, it was the catalyst for
an extraordinary period of rapid and radical change to the social,
cultural and political fabric of the nation. Social restrictions on
women were revolutionised, from jobs and the vote to new freedoms
in dress, behaviour and sexuality. The class system was thrown into
disarray, both at home and on the front lines; roles were reversed
in family life for a large part of the population, through
bereavement, evacuation and children put to work in munitions
factories. And as the state took drastic measures to cope with this
turmoil, so the foundations were laid for the society in which we
live today.
