The People of Devon in the First World War

 

 David Parker will be at Torquay Museum  on Wednesday 26th November from  signing copies of his book, The People of Devon in the First World War.  

 

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.
