Home Fronts - Britain and the Empire at War, 1939-45
Examines the "home front" war effort from an overall imperial perspective, assessing the contribution of individual imperial territories. There is increasing interest in the "home front" during the Second World War, including issues such as how people coped with rationing, how women worked to contribute to the war effort, and how civilian morale fluctuated over time. Most studies on this subject are confined to Britain, or to a single other colon…
Produce More Coal’ = ‘Produce More Silicosis’? Re-training, Re-employment, and Respiratory Illnesses in the South Wales Coalfield, 1938–1945
By 1939, the coal industry, like all industries, was facing the pressure of war, bringing an increased concern not only for the state of the industry, but for the health of its workers. The government’s preoccupation with production in preparation for war had long overtaken any particular attention to health and safety measures. The prevailing policy culture provided minimal financial compensation to workers incapacitated through respiratory illn…
Compensation, retraining and respiratory diseases: British coal miners, 1918–1939
By 1918, the British coal industry, like all industries, was facing the pressures of transitioning from a wartime to a peacetime economy. The pressures brought by a slowing economy would leave many coal miners, who possessed limited transferrable skills, harbouring deep concerns about their future employment. For those still in employment, concerns were increasing for workers’ health. Sharp increases in respiratory illnesses across the nation’s c…
Technological change and Post Office communications in Britain, 1918–1945
The pressures of both World War I and World War II made the British Post Office a central concern in national politics. Yet this development has received little attention in the historiography of the Post Office or the British state. The demands of war and expectations for service from individuals living in a consumer society raised questions as to how to improve technology and infrastructure to satisfy these divergent needs. The Post Office’s po…
Waste into Weapons: Recycling in Britain during the Second World War. By Peter Thorsheim
Peter Thorsheim has produced a seminal study on recycling in Britain during the Second World War. Despite the growing literature on the home, military and political fronts during the war, recycling and conservation remains an aspect neglected in the historiography. In examining this aspect, Thorsheim not only sheds new light on a novel dimension of the war, but shows how the need to recycle for the war effort placed additional strains on a nation…
Inequality’ and ‘value’ reconsidered? the employment of post office women, 1910–1922
In the British Civil Service, male workers were perceived more ‘valuable’ by managers owing to their supposed higher productivity and skills. This restricted women’s access to higher grade employment, and placed them on lower and different scales to their male colleagues. Yet women worked alongside men, both in the pre-war, wartime and interwar periods. Through examining the personnel practices of Britain’s largest Civil Service department – the …
Preparing for a Future War: Pre‐War Planning in the British Post Office, 1918–1939
The First World War had brought Britain's largest employer, the Post Office, into the forefront of the war effort. Not only was it a major force in the nation's communications during the war, but it was also the single largest employer of women. When the government began planning for a future war effort, the centrality of the Post Office to these plans was a subject of heated and controversial debates. The mobilization of sufficient ‘manpower’ an…
