Guernsey and the Great War

How Guernsey people were involved in the 1914-18 War

This copiously illustrated booklet was published to coincide with the museum's Cambrai 1917 exhibition, commemorating the 90th anniversary of a battle where so many Guernseymen fell. This book offers a very readable historic summary of the war and looks at its particular impact on Guernsey.
