Description

Grimsby in the Great War explores the impact of World War I on the seaside town of Grimsby. Situated on the North Sea, Grimsby and Cleethorpes faced significant challenges as the war progressed, with their vessels exposed to German mines and U-boat torpedoes. The book delves into the remarkable stories of heroism, determination, and resolution in Grimsby during this period. It documents the experiences of local shell factory staffed by women, the War Hospital Supply Depot, and the Women's Emergency Corps, alongside the achievements of regiments containing Grimsby men, including the Grimsby Chums. Through its compelling narrative, Stephen Wade sheds light on a lesser-known aspect of British history, revealing the resilience and courage of the people of Grimsby during one of the most tumultuous periods in their town's history.
