When war was declared in 1914, the people of South Dorset were taken by surprise. Initially, there was excitement as the garrison town of Dorchester sprang to life, and Britain's Grand Fleet steamed from Portland Harbour to its war stations in the North Sea. But when the fervor subsided, what was it like for ordinary people? This book describes how they settled down with purpose to a life at war. Traders made the most of new markets, and women learned to cope not only with food shortages and blackouts, but the constant fear that their loved ones wouldn't return. Many threw themselves into the war effort. An enormous prisoner of war camp was established on the edge of Dorchester; wounded Australian soldiers were sent to recover in Weymouth, where they became firm favourites with the ladies; and soldiers billeted in Portland homes didn't always treat their hosts with the respect they deserved. Included in the book are the stories of a German spy who slipped through the net at Wyke; a teenage soldier shot dead by his friend; a scandal at a local military hospital; the touching friendship that developed between a nurse and a wounded Belgian; and what everyday life was like at Weymouth Torpedo Works. This warm account of life in Dorchester, Weymouth and Portland during the Great War ensures that the people at home, who lived through those five dreadful years of conflict, are remembered, too.

"This is [Frank Warren's] diary; a vivid and detailed account illegally written down from memory soon after the events occurred. Warren's appreciation of detail makes this fascinating document a remarkable source of absorbing eye-witness material. In these pages we read of the horror of the Somme battlefield soon after the grim and costly infantry fighting had ground to a halt and of his next tour of duty in the Ypres Salient, which he describes as 'a wilderness and a solitary place, nothing whole remains' ... Warren's accounts of the blowing of the bridge on the Somme canal and the rescue of the guns at Mercourt are wonderful set-piece depictions, among the most graphic of all reports of battlefield events. Together with descriptions of soldiers dangling their legs from railway waggons on their way to the front and of bully-beef tins being thrown from hand to hand in the front line, this is a ... evocative account of war"--Jacket.
