BBC World Service - Witness History, World War One: Ordinary Lives

Recordings of two people who felt  the cost of war both on the battlefield and at home

Remarkable recordings of two people who experienced the cost of war first-hand. One on the battlefield and one at home

Remarkable recordings from the BBC archive of two people who felt the cost of war first-hand. Their experiences were tragically common, but for many years, were rarely recorded or voiced in public  You'll hear from a German soldier, Stefan Westmann, who tried to come to terms with the act of killing. And the story of Katie Morter, a British civilian from Manchester, and the man she loved, Percy.
