Children at War 1914-1918
For most British readers, the phrase 'children during the war' conjures up images of the evacuees of the Second World War. However, this book takes readers to the heart of the Children's War 1914-1918.The age range covered, from birth to 17 years, as well as the richness of children's own writings and the breadth of English, French and German primary and secondary sources, allows readers to experience wartime childhood and adolescence from multiple, multi-national standpoints. Somehow, surprisingly, the children of the Great War have been largely and unjustifiably overlooked.
These include: British infants in the nursery; German children at school; French and Belgian youngsters living with the enemy in their occupied homelands; Australian girls and boys knitting socks for General Birdwood, (Commander-in-Chief of the Australian Imperial Force); Girl Guides working for MI5;
