A six-part series in which Peter Snow looks at stories uncovered in a single copy of a newspaper from the past.
How Midlanders celebrated the end of blackout restrictions, the threat to civilians from the air during the war, how the international language of Esperanto fared amid wartime nationalism and the music which charmed troops in the trenches but flopped in peacetime. Plus the Florence Nightingale of the war, Elsie Inglis from Edinburgh.
