1915

In this episode we look at the War at Sea in the Great War for the first time and are joined by historian Rebecca Clarke to discuss her book on the fate of HMS India and her crew, following the loss of the ship to a German U-Boat in August 1915. The men spent the rest of the war interned in neutral Norway and we discover the fascinating stories behind their experience there.

1914 : Camille et Louise sont normands et Rouennais d'adoption. Le premier est dans les tranchées, la seconde tient le débit familial. Ils s'écrivent fiévreusement et tiennent bon malgré le conflit et la distance. C'est leur histoire qui est contée ici, grâce aux lettres conservées aux Archives départementales de la Seine-Maritime et à la connaissance du dossier par Karine Blondel, travaillant à la médiation culturelle de la structure.

Percy has almost recovered and is full of introspection, apprehension and a touch of mischief. This episode covers Christmas Dinner at St John's Hospital, New Years Eve, the death of an orange tree, or was it a peach tree? ... and the night the old cow died! My apologies to Paper Lace!

Now I used some backing music,  here is a link to St Monicas Choir Facebook pageThey are a Maltese Choir and worth a listen.

Okay, so hang a sock on Christmas Eve and see if Percy's Mum leaves half a crown in it!

Andra delen i Peter Englunds första världskrigsserie berättar om begynnande krigströtthet, och krigets musik ville få massorna att glömma eländet.

Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play.

1915 förbyttes entusiasmen mot en begynnande krigströtthet, och i sin aktuella bok ”Stridens skörhet och sorg – 1915” låter Peter Englund människorna som upplevde detta krigsår komma till tals. Andra delen av hans planerade fembandsverk om första världskriget är en berättelse om hur soldater och civila nu börjar ifrågasätta krigets meningsfullhet.

– Det mörka 1900-talets DNA finns i det första världskriget, och ska vi förstå det så måste vi börja där, säger han.

Dessutom kartläggs musikens betydelse under samma krig. Historikern John Mullen har gått igenom 1200 populära brittiska slagdängor från tiden, som ömsom tröstade sin publik, ömsom fick den att skratta. Han visar också hur tyskfientliga sånger eller sånger som uppmanade unga pojkar att dö för kung och fosterland aldrig fick något större genomslag.

Programledare är Tobias Svanelid.

Programmet är en repris från den 5 februari 2015.
