Edward, seeking to escape the problems at home, made the decision not to resist conscription, ultimately finding himself at the Front. Sadie's hopes for love remained unrequited, and Laura had to flee Artemis House when it was shelled, ending up in London driving an ambulance. Ethel, the nursery maid, masked her own pain by caring for other people's children, but she had to be careful not to get too attached. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe government was forced to introduce rationing due to the manpower shortages caused by the war. As a result, the conscription age was extended, affecting even more young men. The Russians had withdrawn from the war, and a series of terrifying all-out attacks by the Allies pushed them back almost to the Channel. For the first time, England faced the real prospect of defeat. The war seemed to have no end, and hope seemed elusive. However, a faint glimmer of hope remained.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 528g\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 148 x 223 x 34 (mm)\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780751565591\n                            \n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cynthia Harrod-Eagles","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44097612415226,"sku":"9780751565591","price":14.63,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/44a1877dd16f7234eb94d2a14859b48e.jpg?v=1631154774","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/till-the-boys-come-home-war-at-home-1918","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
