Great War Britain West Sussex: Remembering 1914-18 , edited by Martin Hayes and Emma White in association with West Sussex County Council, published 1 October 2014 (272 pp., The History Press, ISBN-10: 0750960655 & ISBN-13: 9780750960656) accessible at: West Sussex Libraries
Abstract:The First World War claimed over 995,000 British lives, and its legacy continues to be remembered today. Great War Britain: West Sussex offers an intimate portrayal of the county and its people living in the shadow of the 'war to end all wars'. A beautifully illustrated and highly accessible volume, it describes local reaction to the outbreak of war; charts the experience of individuals who enlisted; the changing face of industry; the work of the many hospitals in the area; the effect of the conflict on local families; the women who defied convention to play a vital role on the home front; and concludes with a chapter dedicated to how the county and its people coped with the transition to life in peacetime once more. The Great War story of West Sussex is told through the testimony of those who were there and is vividly illustrated with evocative images from the archives of West Sussex County Council and local museums
Review by John Wickens in Sussex Family Historian vol. 21 no. 7, September 2015:This book is essentially a collaboration between WSRO and WSCC Library Service, using written documents and photos from their extensive archives as well as from private collections. It examines the impact of WW1 on the county from many perspectives; social, economic, the role of the Church as well as the military. It includes an excellent chapter about the Royal Sussex Regiment written by Alan Readman, former County Archivist at WSRO. The source of much the information comes from local newspapers, some now scanned on to DVDs thanks to a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund. All sources are given in detail enabling readers to pursue their own searches through WSRO or libraries. The very important part played on the home front by women is highlighted and it mentions the first English WI meeting at Singleton in 1915.
This is a well-balanced publication and is a credit to all concerned with its production, including many library volunteers.

Military Voices Past & Present: West Sussex veterans in the 20th century, by Emma Worall (née White), Amy Perry and Martin Hayes, published June 2017 (Chichester: West Sussex County Council, ISBN-13: 9780862605933) accessible at: West Sussex Libraries
Abstract:The current centenaries of First World War events, and 75th anniversaries of Second World War events, have given us an opportunity to remember, research, re-evaluate and appreciate military veterans. Military Voices Past and Present was an oral history project, organised by West Sussex County Council Library Service, to compare some recently discovered Great War veteran recordings with new interviews, of current military veterans, recorded for the project. This book is a record of over 90 detailed interviews covering the period 1914 to the 1990s.
