When war broke out in 1914 conscription seemed unnecessary: there was no shortage of volunteers ready to lay down their lives for their country. In this fascinating book, illustrated with contemporary drawings and photographs, Dr. Dakers explores exactly what their 'country' meant to the men and women who fought, died, survived. Drawing on a wide range of unpublished papers and family archives, she presents the most complete picture of the impact of the war on rural England. NOT EX LIB C3D. Very Good/Very Good.
