British children were mobilised for total war in 1914-18. War
dominated their teaching and school experience, it was the focus of
their extra curricular activities and they enjoyed it as a source
of entertainment in literature and play. Children were not shielded
from the war because it was believed their support was vital for
Britain's present and future.
The study of children's lives provides a unique perspective on
British society during the First World War. It lets us get to the
very essence of how Britain's adults perceived the war and allows
us to explore the methods society used to communicate with itself.
Children's connection to the war, however, was personal. Millions
had a relative in the army and those that did not had friends,
neighbours and teachers involved in the fighting. Their
participation, therefore, while shaped by adults, was motivated by
a desire to remain in touch with their absent fathers and
brothers.
