Dorset Family History Society is hosting a Zoom meeting with Andrea Hetherington entitled 'Deserters of the First World War – The Home Front'.
Andrea Hetherington is a professional historian, writer and researcher with a passion for the past who writes captivating books and regularly delivers engaging talks across the UK and internationally on a range of historical topics.
When thinking about First World War deserters, most people bring to mind those who were shot at dawn and pardoned nearly 100 years later, but these were a tiny minority of those who deserted the armed forces during WW1.
This talk looks at the much bigger picture.
