Great War Dundee
This is the story of the 30,490 men that left Dundee to fight in the First World War and of the people left at home.
Around 26,000 men returned home to Dundee from WW1. For many, adjusting back to civilian life was challenging and for some the effects of the war never left them. Most Returnee service records were lost in a fire during WW2 but with your help we hope to honour the Returnees by building our own record of their lives. Find out more…
