Tangmere
Airfield
had
a
prominent
role
in
the
Air
War
from
1916
onwards
and
many
local
men
joined
the
Royal
Sussex
Regiment.
This
book
looks
at
how
the
experience
of
war
impacted
on
the
town,
from
the
initial
enthusiasm
for
sorting
out
the
German
Kaiser
in
time
for
Christmas
1914,
to
the
gradual
realization
of
the
enormity
of
human
sacrifice
the
families
of
Chichester
were
committed
to
as
the
war
stretched
out
over
the
next
four
years.
The
Great
War
affected
everyone.
At
home
there
were
wounded
soldiers
in
military
hospitals,
refugees
from
Belgium
and
later
on
German
prisoners
of
war.
There
were
food
and
fuel
shortages
and
disruption
to
schooling.
The
role
of
women
changed
dramatically
and
they
undertook
a
variety
of
work
undreamed
of
in
peacetime.
Meanwhile,
men
serving
in
the
armed
forces
were
scattered
far
and
wide.
Extracts
from
contemporary
letters
reveal
their
heroism
and
give
insights
into
what
it
was
like
under
battle conditions.
