Remembering the Great War through The Spectator’s daily extracts

It’s easy to be overwhelmed with information about the First World War. One way to avoid that, and still to keep up with the centenary of remembrances of the war is to read The Spectator at war, and its daily extracts from The Spectator during WW1.

It’s one of the benefits of being a continuously published magazine since 1828 that The Spectator is able to say of it’s Spectator at war series,

“The aim is not to tell the full story of the conflict, or even to provide a full assessment of our coverage of it — that requires deeper expertise and a wider view. …..  Instead, we’ll seek to give an impression, week by week and page by page, of the atmosphere of the time, with a minimum of commentary and hindsight.”

It’s a thoroughly good way to understand the mood of the times. I’ve already noted how Bagshot and Surrey heathland have been mentioned in the daily extracts from articles and dispatches.
