Abstract: |
The thematic study of First World War fieldworks in England has drawn together evidence of trench systems and other defensive works by drawing on a range of sources. It demonstrates a wide geographical spread of fieldworks that can be divided into three principal forms: those created for, and during, training; those intended for defence against enemy action, and those with specific functions, whether for public information and propaganda, or for developing techniques of camouflage. The report considers the development of field fortification during the conflict, presents case studies of notable sites and makes recommendations for further works. A supporting gazetteer has been created to document identified examples of First World War fieldworks in England. |
