Like every other community in the country the ancient market town of Newport Pagnell was affected by the Great War which began on August 4th 1914. Nobody could have anticipated the change it was to bring about in society and Newport Pagnell was a very different place 100 years ago. In this important book historian John Taylor records the events of a century ago and illustrates the daily lives and efforts not only of those at home but also of those young men who were to experience the horrors of an unanticipated and prolonged trench warfare.
