Charitable activities during the First World War, often overlooked in historical accounts, involved significant contributions exceeding £100 million and engaged over a million volunteers, primarily from working-class backgrounds. This book highlights the scale and impact of non-uniformed voluntary action, shedding light on the crucial role these efforts played in supporting the war effort and addressing the needs of those affected by the conflict, ultimately enriching our understanding of social dynamics during this tumultuous period.
