Children at war, 1914-1918
Newman, Vivien2019
Book
For most British readers, the phrase 'children during the war' conjures up images of the evacuees of the Second World War. Somehow, surprisingly, the children of the Great War have been largely and unjustifiably overlooked. 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.
