A Land Fit for Heroes: War and the Working Class 1914-1918

People’s History Museum, Manchester

A Land Fit For Heroes examines how World War I changed society, radically altering the social, economic, cultural and political outlook of the British people.

The museum’s current changing exhibition looks at why people supported the war (and those that didn’t), the role that women played in the war effort, how home life was radically changed, the influence the war had on politics and the labour movement and life after the war.
