This is a fascinating pack of facsimile documents from World War One. Includes a collection of small cards in the form of recruiting posters and photographs of weapons of war of the period. There is a copy of the Patriotic Pledge, Propaganda cards, an Identity Card and several forms and information leaflets aimed at the home front are included, giving a mental picture of what life was like with food rationing and the threat of invasion. There is a Confidential Medical Report into the illness of 2/Lieutenant Wilfred Owen, who was sent to the Welsh Hospital at Netley and later to the War Hospital in Edinburgh. Owen is now considered one of the important writers and war poets of his day. A copy of The Star newspaper from November 11, 1918 announcing the Armistice completes the pack.
