Bibliography
The documents collected in this volume are an important resource
for researchers interested in the home front in Devon during the
First World War. [.] Richard Batten is to be congratulated on his
careful editing and helpful introduction.
Batten has correctly assessed that Fortescue's experiences add an
important, if select, new piece to the jigsaw puzzle picture of the
home front that is currently being assembled by Great War
historians, this is an enjoyable book that offers a good deal of
important context to the growing understanding of the British home
front during the Great War.
