Wolverhampton and the Great War

This presentation deals with Wolverhampton’s experience of the First World War on both the home front and in the field of battle. It includes references to recruitment, munitions production, care of the wounded, Zeppelin raids, war heroes and the local campaign to plant avenues of trees as living war memorials.

Quintin Watt will also seek to explain why Wulfrunians never dwelt on the war, and moved on soon afterwards.
