This illustrated presentation examines the civilian reaction to the outbreak of the Great War in the Black Country.  Was it ‘business as usual’ on the Home Front, or did war hysteria sweep across the region?  Did the war bring out the best, or the worst, in local people?  What happened to ‘foreigners’ living in the area?  What were the myths and what was the reality?  Come along and find out what you don’t know about the Great War!
