Book
The First World War claimed almost a million British lives and its legacy continues to be remembered today. 'The Stroud Valleys in the Great War' offers an intimate portrayal of the region and its people living in the shadow of the 'war to end all wars'. The book explores themes of local reaction to the outbreak of war; the experience of individuals who enlisted; the changing face of industry and related unrest; the work of hospitals in the area; the effect of the conflict on children; the women who defied convention to play a vital role on the home front and how people coped with the transition to life in peacetime once more.
