Book Synopsis The People of Devon in the First World War by : Dr David Parker
Book excerpt: Thematically divided, this fascinating study explores the experiences of many of Devon's people during the First World War: soldiers; aliens and spies (real and imagined); refugees; conscientious objectors; nurses and doctors; churchmen; the changing roles of women and children; and finally the controversies surrounding farming and agriculture. It provides a moving tribute to the price paid by Devon and its people during the War to End all Wars.
