This book underscores Watford's significance as a regional hub in South West Herts during the Great War, exploring the area's unity and the impact of wartime events. It delves into the Army's role and organization, then shifts focus to civilian life, including their war efforts, services like Police and Fire, and institutions such as Churches, Schools, and the Press.
