A Welsh County at War opens an unusual window on the First World War. This is not a military history of horror in the trenches, but a social and cultural history of life in one county in west Wales during this fraught period.

The royalties from this book will be donated to the Jubilee Storehouse, the food bank in my home village of Penparcau. In my view, there should be no need for food banks in a civilised society.
Acknowledgements.
