The truth about the sacrifice and suffering on the home front in
Britain during the First World War has never been told. In this
book some of the oldest men and women in the country speak for the
first time about experiences and events that have remained buried
for 85 years. Their testimony shows the same candour and courage we
have become accustomed to hear from veterans of the western front.
Those interviewed include a survivor of a Zeppelin raid on Hull in
1915, a Welsh munitions worker recruited as a girl and a woman
rescued from a bombed school after five days. There are also
accounts of rural famine, bereavement and the effects on families
back home, and even the story of a woman who planned to kill her
family to save them further suffering.
