This book examines how the cultural legacy of the First World War affected young men's attitudes to service and subjective conceptions of wartime masculinity during the Second World War.Using original and archival oral histories and the Mass Observation Archive, it explores how young men in interwar Britain encountered and understood representations of the Great War in popular culture and day-to-day life.
> Joining up in the Second World War makes important contributions to, and connects, the history of the legacy of the First World War, and the history of gender and service in the Second World War.
