Barrow-in-Furness in the Great War

Ruth Mansergh

£12.99

Barrow’s output of war materials was vital to the Great War effort, and it is about the Barrovians and men from the surrounding Lakeland area – from all walks of life – who fought abroad, and the area’s women war heroes.

It includes background information on the history of the town, such as the Furness Railway, iron ore in the area and shipbuilding, and lists vessels built at Barrow pre- and during the war with information on what happened to them.
