World War One At Home reveals how the momentous events of the war affected life on the Home Front. Around 1400 stories will be broadcast throughout 2014 and beyond, on BBC local and national radio and television, and online.

 

Local stories from a global conflict

 

Each World War One At Home story focuses on a place – airfields, hospitals, schools, churches, town squares, theatres, high streets – to show how events there influenced a global conflict - how the production lines of the British factories kept the front lines supplied, how innovations in technology revolutionised the war effort, and the impact of enemy offensives changed the face of Britain’s coastlines and cities.

 

World War One At Home launched in February 2014, with the release of 223 stories across radio, TV and online. There will be similar releases in June, August and November, bringing the total stories on the site to over 1,000, with many more to be published in 2015 and beyond...
