This book examines the British soldiers on the Western Front and
how they responded to the war landscape they encountered behind the
lines and at the front. Using a multidisciplinary perspective, this
study investigates the relationship between soldiers and the spaces
and materials of the warzone, analyzing how soldiers constructed a
'sense of place' in the hostile, unpredictable environment. Drawing
upon recent developments within First World War Studies and the
anthropological examination of the fields of conflict, an
ethnohistorical perspective of the soldiers is built which details
the various ways soldiers responded to the physical and material
world of the Western Front. This study is also grounded in the
wider debates on how the First World War is remembered within
Britain and offers an alternative perspective on the individuals
who fought in the world's first global conflagration nearly a
century ago.
