Peterborough at War: 1914-1918

Discover Peterborough’s story during World War I from both a military and Home Front perspective. Learn about the only woman from the city who was killed in the war, the demise of the Bridge Fair and the experiences of a Peterborough soldier during the Christmas Truce of 1914. Author of ‘Peterborough at War: 1914-1918’, David Gray has undertaken a great deal of research into this period of the city’s history to tell a story which has never been told before – the full history of Peterborough in the Great War.
