A Record of War

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

The 1914-18 war has been recalled mainly in the writings and reminiscences of the men who fought in France. But women too shared the suffering, the heartbreak and the loss.
This programme attempts to put the record straight, with readings from Scars Upon My
Heart, a new anthology of women's poetry and verse of the First World War, and from Vera Brittain 's recently published war diary, Chronicle of Youth.
