A War Less Ordinary

For Remembrance Day this year, Sarah Lancashire goes beyond the frontline to honour those non-combatants whose wartime experience is often overlooked; the nurse, the firewarden, the Land Army worker, those left behind at home.

A selection of poetry and songs, almost all written from direct personal experience, commemorating those whose part in war was not to fight but to endure, to work and to suffer along with those who did.

With Richard Armitage, Susan Jameson and Charlie Brooks.
