The severe shortage of munitions during the First World War
increased the level of casualties in the battlefields; prevented
the breakthrough of the German defences thus continuing a war of
attrition; brought about the downfall of the great Liberal
Government of the early twentieth century; and placed the British
public on a total war footing for the first time in history. The
British Shell Shortage of the First World War looks at shell
manufacture and views the military and political battles of 1915, a
time when decisions made by a government whose ideology was not
compatible to war, had to answer for their decisions and management
since war was declared. It details the battles of Neuve Chapelle
and Aubers Ridge from the perspective of The Rifle Brigade, whose
casualties in the latter battle was the catalyst of The Times
article that resulted in a coalition government and the creation of
a Ministry of Munitions. The political and military casualties are
explained, along with the innovative creation of the Munitions
Ministry, which led the way for industrial conscription, ensuring
that the whole country stood behind their fighting men.
