With the centenary of Britain declaring war in World War One having just passed, and the conflict being marked in a huge range of ways in the UK, many people will be taking the opportunity to learn new things about the historical war.<\/p>\n
One way of doing this is to buy a new book on the subject, and a recently released World War One history book from the SSAFA and the publisher CWP provides a way to do this and also help a service charity.<\/p>\n
The book has been released for sale at a lot of supermarkets and newsagents, and costs £6.99. Half of net profits are going to be given to SSAFA.<\/p>\n
Readers will learn about things like warfare tech, the home front and soldiers in the book.<\/p>\n
"I am extremely proud and honoured, to have been able to assist SSAFA in the production of The Great War 1914-18: SSAFA’s Official Guide to World War One," commented CW Publishing Group CEO Oren Wolf.<\/p>\n
He added that CWP picked SSAFA as a partner on the project because they are the one recognised and national forces charity that existed when World War One started.<\/p>\n
"As such, they provided the frontline of help, care and support for the troops and the loved ones and families left behind," he explained.<\/p>\n
Chief executive of SSAFA David Murray, meanwhile, has explained that his charity is still as relevant as it ever has been.<\/p>\n
It supports 50,000 new people annually, and the new book allows people to find out about its work, he said.<\/p>\n
The public can also find out about World War One at some new permanent galleries, recently opened at London's Imperial War Museum.<\/p>\n
These feature weapons, letters, photos and art, uniforms and much more to explore.<\/p>\n
It covers topics like the Battle of the Somme, the War's beginnings and how it was won by the Allies.
