Nottingham in the Great War by Carol Lovejoy Edwards
The years 1914-1918 cost many lives in the trenches of France and Belgium. Those trenches and the battles that were fought from them are well documented. But back home in towns and cities up and down the United Kingdom death and desperation were also apparent. Those left behind to carry on suffered from harsh winters, lack of food and fuel and flu epidemics. This is the story of the struggles of ordinary people with their everyday lives. It includes the opportunities presented to the criminal fraternity and the contribution that women made to the war effort by filling men's jobs and providing a home for the men to return to. If they were lucky enough to come home from the war.
Carol Lovejoy Edwards is a former lawyer who loves her home town of Nottingham. Carol's passion for history was instilled in her in the late 1970s by J J King who arrived to teach an 'O' level class dressed as a Great War soldier. History came alive that day and a lifelong interest began.
