First World War: 1914-1918
This section deals with recruitment to the forces, including not just infantry, but sailors, airmen and medical and nursing practitioners. It focuses on British/Irish wartime propaganda and reportage and on anti-conscription sentiments and the huge impact of the war on the home front, economically, culturally and socially. The collection deals with the material legacy of that war in terms of weapons, uniforms, souvenirs, written documents and medals.
