Daddy, what did you do in the great War? | Rebecca Ball

Over the years, we have filmed quite a lot of speakers at the branch. These have been available to view on the WFA's YouTube channel, and can also be found as 'articles' on the WFA website. However these videos have not been separately grouped for those visiting the Yorkshire branch 'landing page' on the website.

By starting a process of loading these onto the branch page, this makes a number of talks that stretch back to about 2019 'visible'.

In this presentation, Rebecca Ball talks about 'Daddy, what did you do in the great War?' - which was given to the branch in August 2023.

Drawing upon fifty working-class autobiographies, this talk examines the impact of the Great War on English families.
