Between 1918 and 1939, 448 men who performed uniformed service in
the First World War became Conservative MPs. This relatively
high-profile cohort have been under-explored as a distinct body,
yet a study of their experiences of the war and the ways in which
they - and the Conservative Party - represented those experiences
to the voting public reveals much about the political culture of
Interwar Britain and the use of the Great War as political capital.
Radicalised ex-servicemen have, thus far, been considered a rather
continental phenomenon historiographically. And whilst attitudes to
Hitler and Mussolini form part of this analysis, the study also
explores why there were fewer such types in Britain. The
Conservative Party, it will be shown, played a crucial part in such
a process - with British politics serving as a contested space for
survivors' interpretations of what the war should mean.
