The First World War claimed over 995,000 British lives, and its
legacy continues to be remembered today. Great War Britain:
Shropshire offers an intimate portrayal of the county and its
people living in the shadow of the 'war to end all wars'. A
beautifully illustrated and highly accessible volume, it describes
local reaction to the outbreak of war; charts the experience of
individuals who enlisted; the changing face of industry; the work
of the many hospitals in the area; the effect of the conflict on
local children; the women who defied convention to play a vital
role on the home front; and concludes with a chapter dedicated to
how the city and its people coped with the transition to life in
peacetime once more. The Great War story of Shropshire is told
through the voices of those who were there and is vividly
illustrated through evocative images from the archives of the
Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust.
