When war was declared in 1914 the people of Bristol erupted in patriotic excitement - but what was it like when the cheering died down?This book tells the city's unique story during those grinding years, when women risked their lives filling shells with mustard gas, factories turned out chocolate and cigarettes for the troops, Shirehampton's fields were full of war horses, and Filton's nascent aeroplane industry took off. Also described are the lives of the women who waited at home for news of their men at the Front, the long shop queues and blackouts, the bone-shaking military vehicles that rumbled past their homes, and the kindness shown to the traumatized refugees from Belgium.Jacqueline Wadsworth's extensive research brings Bristol's story to life using contemporary accounts and high-quality photographs, many of which have never been published before.As seen in The Bristol Post, Western Daily Press and Gazette Series.

Bedminster-born footballing icon Billy ""Fatty"" Wedlock was the homegrown hero who rescued Bristol City from the doldrums & with his infectious skill and personality, elevated the club into the First Division for the first time in its history... He also took them to within a whisker of the League Championship title and a victory in the final of the FA Cup. A unique centre-half of diminutive proportions, what he lacked in inches he made up for in sheer talent - coupled with a superhuman work ethic. Nicknamed the ""india rubber man"", Wedlock played 26 times for his country, becoming in the process Bristol City's original England international superstar. The supreme exponent of fair-play,& ""modest to the point of shyness"", Billy was the finest gentleman ever to walk onto a football field. No book has ever been written to tell the story of the most mythical and iconic figure in Bristol City's history - until now.
