The First World War: The People’s Story Season 1 Episode 1 King and Country 2021
2/10 by 1 users
For King and Country tells the story of the first years of war in 1914 and 1915, culminating in the Battle of Loos when the Pals Battalions who had enthusiastically volunteered to serve had their first taste of the horror of mass industrialised warfare. We see how the men survived and kept their spirits up in the trenches with death all around them. And we see how families at home faced up to the tragic loss of husbands, fathers sweethearts and sons. Yet despite this shock they still had to work incredibly long hours in the munitions factories and ‘keep the home fires burning.’ War wasn’t the glorious adventure that so many had imagined.
