- W2495369891 abstract "Perhaps the most visible way in which British children were mobilised for the war effort during 1914–1918 was through their involvement in organised uniformed youth groups. Boys and girls, usually between the ages of about 12 and 18, were routinely employed by hospitals, local authorities and central government, while others contributed by collecting, making and preparing everything from clothing to splints and bandages for the British troops. Their efforts were directed by the organisers of Britain’s youth groups, who saw the war as a great opportunity to bring home to their members the need for the self-discipline, obedience and self-sacrifice that were behind so much of their teaching. The children were to be of service to their country in its ‘hour of need’; they had been trained for it and, more importantly, the desire to do it had been instilled in them. And they did want to do it. Members of the Boys’ Brigade, Boy Scouts and Girl Guides all threw themselves enthusiastically into the war effort — they relished the opportunity to become involved, to feel they were ‘doing their bit’. What is interesting is that the children did not always interpret their role in quite the same way as their leadership intended, in a manner that suggests the children wanted even more responsibility than they were being given. For female youth groups the war had a transforming effect; they proved their worth, leading to greater public acceptance and an acknowledgement that girls and women, if allowed the right training, could contribute to the defence of the nation." @default.
