The United Kingdom’s National Archives provides a great World War I history resource with their site “The First World War: Sources for History.” It provides a look at WWI from a British standpoint, enabling visitors to further understand Britain’s involvement in the conflict. The Web site is made up of dozens of options, including exploring service records from the war, a comprehensive explanation of all the battles and the aftermath of WWI.
Actually, it is almost too much information. It is a bit difficult to navigate and there is no “search” option (although there is a site map.) Nevertheless, it is a good Web site that one can explore if one is just looking to learn more about the conflict, particularly Britain’s take and involvement.
Readers will also enjoy Soldier’s Mail: Letters Home from a New England Soldier 1916-1919 which features the writings of U.S. Sgt. Sam Avery during the American involvement in the Great War. A compelling eyewitness narrative from the hot sands along the Rio Grande to the cold mud along the Meuse.
