The truth about the sacrifice and suffering on the home front
during World War I is rarely discussed. In this book some of the
oldest men and women in the country speak about experiences and
events that have remained buried for 85 years. Their testimony
shows the same candour and courage we have become accustomed to
hearing 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.
