THE LITTLE MAGAZINE DEDICATED TO THE GREAT WAR OF 1914-1919 AND TO THOSE WHO PERISHED AND THOSE WHO RETURNED

CONTRIBUTIONS & SUBMISSIONS

‘The Great War’ magazine is happy to accept contributions on all aspects of the Great War, and no area or topic is excluded. We welcome contributions both large and small from everyone and you do not have to be an academic, historian or researcher to send in material. Although we have included our general submission guidelines below, we are always happy to accept all material, no matter how it is supplied, provided it is legible. Priority is always given to subscribers, but non subscribers are welcome to submit material too.

We regret we are unable to pay for submissions.

IMPORTANT NOTE: we no longer accept any material, be it text or image, as e-mail attachments due to the constant threat of a virus download without first being contacted and discussing the various options available for submitting material.

ROLL OF HONOUR PAGE

Any subscriber can send in the details of someone they would like to see included in our regular ‘Roll of Honour’ page. Provided the person (man or woman, of any nationality) served between 1914 and 1919 their name can be submitted. The information we need is as follows: Rank (or title). First name. Last name. Any medals or honours. Unit or battalion. Regiment. Year of death. Cause of death.

Example entry. Private John Smith, MM. 3rd Devonshire Regiment. *Died 1916. *Killed in action.

*For those who survived and died after the war please give date of death, e.g. 1977 and record as Died at Home.

ALL GREAT WAR MATERIAL WANTED

'The Great War', is constantly seeking any and all material.

If you have family, company, battalion, regimental, unit, ship, squadron or any other kind of Great War material in the form of diaries, letters, postcards, photographs, etc., we would be delighted to hear from you.

Sadly, many families now believe there is little interest in the few bits of material they may have in the attic, an old shoe box, or in family albums. Or that because the material they have would not make a book, no one would want to read or see it. That is not the case - this is exactly the kind of material we are constantly searching for.

Such family material does not just have to include the military, but we publish material related to the home front, hospitals, nurses, support workers, animal welfare organisations, munitions workers and factories, etc., etc., in fact anything at all from anyone who lived through the war years.

We would like to hear from any Regimental, Military, Naval or Air museums or organisations/associations who have archive material (no matter how slight and incomplete) relating to the Great War period - 1914-1919. Many smaller museums are unable for financial reasons to publish their archive material and so it ends up being locked away, never to see the light of day unless someone happens upon it by chance or in the course of their own research. We are more than happy to transcribe original material and provide typescripts - at no cost - to those museums who would like this work undertaken and who would like to see some of that material published in the magazine. If you are have any connection to, or with, such a museum or archive collection please let them know that the magazine is always happy to hear from them.

We would also greatly welcome material from overseas (outside the UK), provided it is in English. Any person from any country or nationality is welcome to submit material to the magazine.

We are not an academic-based magazine and so are not seeking in-depth historical essays or debates, etc. We have firmly rooted the magazine in the personal stories of those who served, and we intend to continue in this vein.

The 'Last Post', is the page in each issue dedicated to remembering those who served, and subscribers are invited to send in details of names they would like to see included on the list. Names of men and women of any nationality will be accepted provided they served in some capacity during the Great War 1914-1919. The names of those who returned home and who may have no lasting memorial anywhere are particularly welcome for inclusion.
