Told in the Huts


Book Description

Told in the Huts is an illustrated book of personal contributions from soldiers and war workers, and was originally published in 1916 “for the benefit of the Y.M.C.A. Active Service Campaign amongst our Soldiers, Sailors & Munition Workers, in all parts of the world.” Little has been compiled about the role the YMCA played in providing comfort and support to those involved in WWI conflicts, and that is why we chose to reproduce this wonderful book. We hope to provide an insight into the services provided by the YMCA in the trenches and the support provided to both civilians and servicemen. The book describes how individuals were involved and affected by war in this very touching and moving compilation of stories and poems.

Multilingual Environments in the Great War


Book Description

This book explores the differing ways in which language has been used to try to make sense of the First World War. Offering further developments in an innovative approach to the study of the conflict, it develops a transnational viewpoint of the experience of war to reveal less expected areas of language use during the conflict. Taking the study of the First World War far beyond the Western Front, chapters examine experiences in many regions, including Africa, Armenia, post-war Australia, Russia and Estonia, and a variety of contexts, from prisoner-of-war and internment camps, to food queues and post-war barracks. Drawing upon a wide variety of languages, such as Esperanto, Flemish, Italian, Kiswahili, Portuguese, Romanian and Turkish, Multilingual Environments in the Great War brings together language experiences of conflict from both combatants and the home front, connecting language and literature with linguistic analysis of the immediacy of communication.
