Sand, Planes and Submarines, How Leighton Buzzard shortened the First World War

Description

The role of a town far from the sea played in the WWI effort by building planes, making submarines nets and most of all providing sand for the nation's foundries. Plus life in the town and comprehensive lists and details of those who fought and died. Without the sand the big guns could not have been made for the front; planes allowed the Royal Flying Corps to take on the super German airforce and the submarine nets protected not only the British fleet but also the French, Italians, Americans and Russians.
