Joining up explores men’s encounters with representations of the First World War in interwar Britain, and illuminates how these informed their understandings of the First World War and how those understandings shaped their attitudes to Second World War enlistment and their conceptions of masculinity in wartime Britain. -- .
This book connects the First and Second World Wars. It uses oral histories and Mass Observation material to explore mens attitudes to Second World War enlistment and the relationship they perceived between military service and masculinity, and how these were influenced by understandings of the First World War. Locating the cultural legacy of First World War in the subjectivities of men who participated in the Second World War demonstrates the breadth of sources that informed mens understandings of the First World War in interwar Britain. Its cultural legacy was omnipresent and diverse, and informed young mens attitudes and service preferences, but it reinforced Edwardian conceptions of wartime masculinity as often as it undermined them. Two decades after the First World War ended, they remained resilient in the subjective understandings of men who grew up in the Great Wars shadow.
