This book was released on 2013-08-05 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They were the unsung heroines of World War II; the wives, mums and teenage girls, all 'doing their bit' for the war effort, clocking in daily to work in cast munitions factories, helping make the explosives, bullets and war machines that would ensure victory for Britain.It was dangerous, dirty and exhaustive work. They worked round the clock, often exposed to toxic, lethal chemicals. A factory accident could mean blindness, loss of limbs - or worse. Many went home with acid burns, yellow skin or discoloured hair. Others were forced to leave their loved ones and move to live with total strangers in unfamiliar surroundings. Frequently, their male bosses were coarse and unsympathetic.Yet this hidden army of nearly two million women toiled on regardless through the worst years of the war, cheerfully ignoring the dangers and the exhaustion, as bombing, rationing and the heartbreak of loss or separation took their toll on everyone in the country.Only now, all these years later, have they chosen to tell their remarkable stories. Here, in their own words, are the vivid wartime memories of the 'secret army' of female munitions workers, whose resilience and sheer grit in the face of danger has only now started to emerge.These are the intimate and personal stories of an unforgettable group of women, whose hard work and quiet courage made a significant contribution to Britain's war effort. They didn't fire the bullets, but they filled them up with explosives. And in doing so, they helped Britain win the war.

MUNITION WORKERS IN ENGLAND UT of the exigencies of the great war there have developed in England striking indus trial problems. After nearly a year of wasteful production that exhausted men and machinery, government officials realized that instead of "sprinting as if for a short race, the course would be a long one"; and that the labor power of the nation should be as zealously safeguarded as its military strength. The futility of helter-skelter haste was dramatically brought home to all England by the famous shell shortage in the spring of 1915, for which Kitchener was blamed. It was a case of the situation's running away with those who should have controlled it. The sudden call for large amounts of clothing, munitions, food, and other necessities of war time, had taken the manufacturers completely by surprise, and the rush to fill orders demoralized industrial conditions. Overtime became the rule, night work and Sunday work were common. Trade unions saw the gains of years swept away. Nearly a year was gone before the government assumed responsibility for organizing the huge business of making war supplies, and almost another year was required to complete an organization which was efficient. The crux of the situation was of course in the munition industry. August, 1914, found the nation without enough guns, shells and other war equipment to carry on its great military operations and with no way to get them quickly or in large volume. In response to the unprecedented demand for these materials had come an immediate expansion of the industry, which soon exhausted the supply of skilled men and forced employers to recruit their workers from the ranks of the unskilled, both men and women. Stimulated by the exhortations of the press and of...

Book excerpt: This story is set in England during World War I and revolves around Miss Vivian, a 29-year-old woman. In this novel, Miss Vivian is the Director of the Midland Supply Depôt. She lives with her parents at their rural estate 'Plessings'. It is to be admired that Vivian, who has never done a day's work in her life, has a tenacious spirit that propels her in organizing, supervising and directing the Midlands Supply Depot with great efficiency. Meanwhile across the street the 'war girls' live in a very overcrowded hostel, here they share rooms with hardly any hot water and pretty much unpalatable food.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “fascinating” look at hardship, heroism, and civilian life in England during the Great War (World War One Illustrated). The truth about the sacrifice and suffering among British civilians during World War I is rarely discussed. In this book, people who were there speak about experiences and events that have remained buried for decades. Their testimony shows the same candor and courage we have become accustomed to hearing from military veterans of this war. Those interviewed include a survivor of a Zeppelin raid in 1915; a Welsh munitions worker recruited as a girl; and a woman rescued from a bombed school after five days. There are also accounts of rural famine, bereavement, and the effects on families back home—and even the story of a woman who planned to kill her family to save them further suffering.
