Opportunities and Agonies: Local Responses to the Great War 1914-1918
Historian and writer Dr David Parker will explore the astonishing diversity of local responses to the Great War, especially the huge but often highly controversial contribution of women to the relief of suffering, homing of refugees, raising morale, supporting agriculture and ‘keeping the home fires burning’ under increasingly relentless pressures. He will then examine the legacy of the war, highlighting not only the broken promises but also the enduring welfare reforms.
