British Agriculture in the First World War (RLE The First World War)
This volume comprehensively describes how British farmers coped with the problems of shortage of labour and other factors of production, as well as assessing how well agriculture performed as a supplier of food to the nation. Use of previously neglected records provides much evidence on issues such as the deployment of substitute labour and the introduction of the tractor into British farming for the first time. Challenging accepted view on the p…
Food for War
Food for War is a ground-breaking study of Britain's food and agricultural preparations in the 1930s as the nation once again made ready for war. Historians writing about 1930s Britain have usually focused on the Depression, appeasement, or political, military, and industrial concerns. None have dealt adequately with another significant topic, food and agriculture, as the nation moved, albeit reluctantly, from peace to war. In this new account Al…

Military Recruiting and the British Labour Force during the First World War
During the First World War, Britain was obliged for the first time for over a century to raise a mass army. Initially, this seemed to raise no insuperable problem; by the end of 1914, slightly over one million men had enlisted. Thereafter, however, civilian enthusiasm waned, and the government had to employ other means to stimulate the flow of recruits – alteration of the military service age limits and, later, the introduction of compulsory mili…
British Farming Profits and Government Policy during the First World War
Food Production and Policy in the United Kingdom, 1914–1918 The Alexander Prize Essay
Historians are in general agreement on the problem of United Kingdom food supplies during the First World War. The broad picture is as follows; during the first eighteen months or so of the war, supplies both from home and abroad were well maintained. The government therefore had no need to intervene, either in procuring or distributing food, although it took certain measures to safeguard future supplies for the Army. During 1916, however, the po…
T. S. Ashton Prize Essay for 1974. Agricultural Labour Supply in England and Wales during the First World War
O NE of the central economic problems which confront a nation at war is that of diverting factors of production from civilian to military ends. Since civilian living standards have rarely been reduced rapidly enough to release the whole of the necessary factor resources, there has often ensued, at least in the short run, an acute degree of factor shortage. This was the case during the First World War in Britain, when the demands made upon the eco…
