Of Leicestershire's 320 parishes only three avoided any losses in the First World War. This book tells the story of the county's war years, including the Leicester Fosse team (later City) that finished its last match in 1915 by changing into khaki kit, the way local factories were converted to war production and operated by women workers, the Zeppelin raids on Loughborough in 1916, and the daring escape of a German flyer from Castle Donington.
