New Hardback Illustrated

Postscript summary

Some 360 million yards of cloth went into the extraordinary logistical operation of supplying uniforms for the Western Front. Narrating the war story of the author’s great-grandfather and detailing the work of organizations such as the Royal Army Clothing Department and WAAC, this well-illustrated study follows a bolt of fabric from factory to front lines, reveals how large-scale laundries worked, and explores salvage and recycle operations during the war and decades after.
