Newark in the Great War by Trevor Frecknall

Description

Newark-on-Trent’s position at the crossroads of the Great North Road and Fosse Way plus the Great North Eastern and Midland railway lines left inhabitants endlessly fearful that it would be a prime target when the Germans attacked England from the North Sea. Thousands of men left to fight for King and Country leaving their womenfolk to take their places in factories and their children to work on farms. 248pp
