Great War Dundee
This is Dundee's story of those that served 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…
