Huddersfield in the Great War is a historical account of how the town of Huddersfield contributed to the First World War effort, both on the battlefront and on the home front. The book explores the impact of the war on the town's economy, society, and politics, and how the town's residents responded to the challenges of total war. It also examines the experiences of those who fought and died, as well as the impact of the war on the town's infrastructure and architecture. The book begins with an overview of the pre-war period, highlighting the growth and development of the town, its industries, and its role in the national economy. It then moves on to describe the outbreak of war and the initial optimism of the town's residents, before detailing the devastating impact of the conflict on the town and its people. The author uses a wide range of sources, including contemporary newspapers, government records, and personal correspondence, to paint a vivid picture of life in Huddersfield during the war years. One of the key themes of the book is the evolution of technology during the war, particularly in the fields of transportation, communication, and medicine.
