About the Book

'Grimsby in the Great War' is a detailed account of how the experience of war impacted on the seaside town of Grimsby from the outbreak of the Great War in 1914, to the long- awaited peace of 1918. Grimsby and Cleethorpes were among the most vulnerable and exposed British towns in August 1914 when the Great War broke out. Situated on the North Sea, and facing the German Baltic fleet, their vessels were to face the mines and the U-boat torpedoes as the war progressed. But this is merely one of the incredibly dramatic and testing developments in the wartime saga of 1914-18, which impacted on the the town of Grimsby. Written into the greater story are the achievements of the Grimsby Chums and the other regiments containing Grimsby men, and the amazing story of the Home Front experience, from the local shell factory staffed largely by women, to the War Hospital Supply Depot and the Women's Emergency Corps. Throughout this compelling book, Stephen Wade documents the town's remarkable stories of heroism, determination and resolution in the face of the immensity of the war and its seemingly endless tests and trials of Grimsby's mettle. AUTHOR: Stephen Wade was born in Leeds and was educated at the universities of Wales and Leeds where he gained a PHD and an MA. He is a professional writer specializing in military and crime history. A former teacher, university lecturer and writer in residence in prisons, he has written more than twenty books for Pen & Sword, including Notorious Prisons of the World, Air Raid Shelters of the Second World War, and Tracing Your Legal Ancestors, as well as seven titles in the 'Foul Deeds' series.
