The Loneliness And Paranoia Of WW1’s Home Front | The Last Voices of World War One | Timeline

This award-winning factual series draws on a unique collection of one hundred interviews with World War One veterans in which the soldiers and their loved ones relive all the heroism and heartbreak of the years from 1914 to 1918. Most of these men had never been interviewed before or since. All the voices are now silent.

It wasn’t just men on the front line who suffered during the Great War. At home the families left behind lived through Zeppelin raids, food shortages and with the constant worry that their husbands, sons and brothers would not return. With the arrival of the dreaded telegram announcing the death of a loved one, the lives of thousands of families changed forever.
