The war of 1914-18 changed Britain forever. The movement for Irish Home Rule strengthened, women were in jobs they had never done before &, at the end of the war, were granted the vote for the first time.
Political & military careers were won & lost & in all of these, Winchester played its part. Whilst this is a book about the Great War, that terrible conflagration which claimed so many lives, it is also expertly covers how that war touched the citizens of Winchester.
It can be said that every city, town, village & hamlet contributed to the war effort but some cities, of which Winchester is certainly one, were of crucial importance to the final victory.
