Common cause : Commonwealth Scots and the Great War

documentary heritage
  • Description

    "In 1914, as the world prepared for war, thousands of men enlisted in Scotland for military service, and across the British empire and beyond thousands more of Scottish birth and descent joined up. As the optimism of 1914 gave way to the grim reality, the scale of the conflict and the human cost of fighting the First World War became a foundation of national consciousness in the countries where Scottish people had made new lives.

    Based on the exhibition at the National Museum of Scotland (11 July to 12 October 2014) Common Cause explores the relationship between Scottish migration, military traditions and emerging national identities within the British empire. Using emotive and symbolic artefacts from National Museum Scotland and international collections, Stuart Allan and David Forsyth uncover the powerful stories of migration, multiple identity and loss."--Back cover.
