What was life actually like for the British during the First World War? The images we have all reinforce the idea that it was, in the end, an utterly pointless waste of life, and little more. So why did we fight so willingly and how did we endure it for so long? Jeremy Paxman brings vividly to life the day to day experience of the British over the entire course of the war.
