Synopsis
A month after the Armistice, Prime Minister David Lloyd George promised to make Britain a 'land fi t for heroes'. At the time, it was widely believed. Returning soldiers expected decent treatment and recognition for what they had done, yet the fi ne words of 1918 were not matched by actions. The following years saw little change, as a lack of political will watered down any reform. Beggars in trench coats became a common sight in British cities.Soldiering On examines how the Lost Generation adjusted to civilian life; how they coped with physical and mental disabilities and struggled to find jobs or even communicate with their family. This is the story of men who survived the trenches only to be ignored when they came home. Using first-hand accounts, Adam Powell traces the lives of veterans from the first day of peace to the start of the Second World War, looking at the many injustices ex-servicemen bore, while celebrating the heroism they showed in the face of a world too quick to forget.

À propos de l'auteur
ADAM POWELL has taught British and European History for over twenty-five years, and has been interested in the First World War since he was a student. He is also a tour guide on the Western Front. Growing up near an impoverished First World War veteran gave him the inspiration for Soldiering On, his first book for The History Press.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. The first and only book that covers the whole range of British ex-servicemen's experiences in the interwar period in a single volume. A month after the Armistice, Prime Minister David Lloyd George promised to make Britain a 'land fit for heroes'. The phrase is now ridiculed, but it was widely believed at the time. Soldiers expected decent treatment and recognition for what they had done, yet the fine words of 1918 were not matched by actions. The following years saw little change, as a lack political will watered down any reform. Beggars in trench coats became a common sight in British cities. No More Soldiering for Me examines how the Lost Generation adjusted to civilian life. How they coped with PTSD or a disability; their struggle to find a job or even communicate with their family. It's a story of a group of men who survived the trenches but were often ignored when they came home. No More Soldiering for Me traces the lives of veterans from the first day of peace to the start of the Second World War. It points to the many injustices ex-servicemen bore, while celebrating the heroism they showed in the face of a world too quick to forget.
