Description

This book by Palgrave Macmillan explores the unique role of the British Police in home food production during the First World War. As decreasing food imports threatened the nation with starvation, police officers stepped into new roles, acting as ploughmen between 1917 and 1918. By drawing from the most popular weekly journal of the time, this work provides a detailed look at the lives of policemen and the political context of the Great War. You will learn about the specific pressures faced by police forces across Britain and how government control of farming from December 1916 helped the country avoid the major food riots seen in neighbouring European nations. It is a significant historical study of how agriculture was prioritised to feed the population during a period of intense national crisis.
