The British Home Front and the First World War
The First World War required the mobilisation of entire societies, regardless of age or gender. The phrase 'home front' was itself a product of the war with parts of Britain literally a war front, coming under enemy attack from the sea and increasingly the air. However, the home front also conveyed the war's impact on almost every aspect of British life, economic, social and domestic. In the fullest account to-date, leading historians show how th…
A City’s Paradise’: Preserving the remainder of Box Hill, voluntary social action and Country Life, 1919–1936
Land was first purchased at Box Hill, Surrey, on the North Downs, to save a famous viewpoint in 1914. Safeguarding the remainder of Box Hill from development necessitated public appeals in 1919, 1923, 1926 and 1935. Led by the largely autonomous Box Hill Management Committee, and often supported by Country Life, voluntary social action in Surrey and London was mobilised to preserve adjoining land for the National Trust by accretion, intent on avo…

There Are Times When We Would All Prefer the Factory Life’: Letters From the Trenches to the Shippam Works in Chichester During the First World War
In evaluating the resilience of the British soldier on the Western Front less attention has been paid to the importance of news from the workplace in the wartime lives of temporarily uniformed men. Letters from soldiers in France to their paternalistic employer Ernest Shippam at Chichester suggest that the firm remained a powerful element of ‘civilian’ culture among citizen soldiers. The stoicism of the soldier after I9I4, in the face of so much …
Common Meeting Places and the Brightening of Rural Life: Local Debates on Village Halls in Sussex after the First World War
In the burgeoning literature on war memorials and the commemoration of the war dead in Britain after 1918, the growth of village halls in rural areas has not been extensively analysed. K.S. Inglis has alerted us to the dichotomy of monuments to mourn the dead and amenities to serve the living. He noted that where a preference was made for utility over monumentality, local war memorial committees did not confine their attention to commemorating th…

Lowther's Lambs’: Rural Paternalism and Voluntary Recruitment in the First World War
On the outbreak of war in August 1914 landowners in Sussex immediately started to employ their local leadership roles in the cause of voluntary recruiting and in doing so demonstrated the continuing utility of paternalistic social relations and the traditional rural structure to a nation preparing for war. The slow decline in social prestige provided by landownership was far from visible in the military sphere. As members of the military establis…
