THE BRITISH HOME FRONT 40 | Never Such Innocence

Welcome to the BRITISH HOME FRONT IN THE FIRST WORLD WAR. This series was recorded at the UNIVERSITY OF ST ANDREWS in June 2018 to accompany a conference marking the contribution by the peoples of the British Isles to the national war effort. In this final podcast, we hear from NEVER SUCH INNOCENCE, which seeks to engage children and young people across the world with the centenary of the First World War through poetry, art, and song.
