This reprint, which began as a Special Issue in Genealogy , edited by Dr. Chris Kempshall and Professor Catriona Pennell, is an outcome of the AHRC-funded project Ephemera and writing about war in Britain, from 1914 to the present, undertaken by scholars at both Northumbria University and the University of Exeter. The focus of this project was to explore how ephemera and ephemeral objects can be used to transmit new understandings of experiences related to British military action throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. Of particular importance to those working on the project was the idea that these objects may provide insights into the military experiences of those whose histories exist outside of the mainstream, particularly those from marginalised or under-represented communities who are not always featured in the dominant forms of commemoration or reflection. This Special Issue takes this concept and aims to expand it further by exploring objects, stories, and people beyond just the British. The authors of this Special Issue include both emerging and established academics, featuring a wide variety of objects and conflicts that help us to reframe our existing understandings of the experience of war and its aftermath.
