This is the story of Worcestershire's First World War. Using letters, diaries and journals made at the time, the book draws together the vast array of experiences from Worcestershire locals to build up a comprehensive picture of how the county experienced the war. It explores among other things the role of Worcestershire's women in wartime, the local regiment fighting in the Middle East and Worcestershire's huge impact on the development of the medical profession during this period. The First World War was not just about the Tommy fighting in the trenches - some had a very different experience. Arthur Pepper was a pilot before being shot down and becoming a prisoner of war, and his story is told, along with those of a Navy rating, an Army chaplain and a conscientious objector. The Home Front and everyday life is also considered, with the hardships of food production and the Women's Land Army. This remarkable collection of voices gives a unique insight into this county's First World War.

"Accompany Johnny, a young single adult male and his mates, living in a north of England industrial town as they barn-storm their way through situations which impact upon their lives without regard for those that they encounter in the late 1960's. Read about their escapades as they display a cocky attitude to everyone and behave in an illegal, violent and rude manner which cumulates in betrayal and near tragedy. This book will strike a chord with those who are familiar and may have participated in the heady, rebellious and exciting times of that unforgettable period which were the sixties!"
