Dorking in the Great War (Your Towns and Cities in the Great War)

The remarkable story of how a Surrey town pulled together in a time of conflict. While the men fought for king and country, children collected conkers for munitions as women sewed, worked the land, and ran local businesses and voluntary organisations. Not everyone supported the war, including the Pethick-Lawrences of Holmwood, a high-profile family of peace campaigners. This book is a fascinating insight into how war changed a town and its people.
