World War I claimed over 995,000 British lives, and its legacy continues to be remembered today. Great War Britain: Hull and the Humber offers an intimate portrayal of the city and its people living in the shadow of the "war to end all wars." A beautifully illustrated and highly accessible volume, it describes local reaction to the outbreak of war; charts the experience of individuals who enlisted; the changing face of industry; the work of the many hospitals in the area; the effect of the conflict on local children; the women who defied convention to play a vital role on the home front; and concludes with a chapter dedicated to how the city and its people coped with the transition to life in peacetime once more. The World War I story of Hull is told through the voices of those who were there and is vividly illustrated through evocative images from Hull City Archives.
