Records Relating to 1914-1918 War-part 1

This leaflet is the first draft pulling together references to sources held by Record Office relating to the 1914-1918 War. It will be added to throughout the commemoration period as new material is deposited or comes to light as a result of research. If you have references to any Suffolk Record Office WW1 material which is not included in the leaflet, please send the details to Collections Manager Bridget Hanley ([email protected]) so they can be added.

The Record Office holds a considerable amount of material illustrating various aspects of the war as it affected Suffolk people, whether they were combatants or those on the ‘Home Front’. Such was its effect on society that, in a sense, any records created between August 1914 and November 1918 – and beyond – could throw light, direct or indirect, on the First World War. The records of institutions contain in their pages a considerable amount of essential background information, and help in understanding other documents that were created as a result of, or relate specifically to, the War. The authorities administering the county, the two County Councils, the Boroughs and District Councils and Parish Councils – all reveal the effects of war on the running of local government through their minute books and committee minutes. Similarly school log books, petty sessions, court register and Anglican register of services all show a variety of different responses to the stresses imposed on society by total war. Log books record enforced changes in routine and the way children were drawn into the war effort; court registers reveal a variety of novel offences created by the war, while registers of services can suggest to what extent people turned to organised religion in a time of crisis. One major source, even though subject to censorship, is the local press. Newspapers are not included in the list below, but a leaflet is available showing the office’s holdings. There is excellent coverage of the war years at all branches.

Suffolk Record Office Great War Database Project Volunteers are creating a database of references to soldiers and those with military connections from publications from the 1914-1918 era including the Suffolk County Handbook, the Suffolk Chronicle and Mercury, the , and Observer, the Journal, the County Roll of Honour, the records of Local Appeals Tribunals, letters to the Countess of Stradbroke from soldiers, their relatives and staff of the Red Cross Hospital at Henham Hall etc. to help those seeking information. Over 17,500 names had been indexed by October 2014. The index is held at the Record Office.

The list includes Local Studies material (further details of these books can be found on the Suffolk Library catalogue online) and items from archive collections, apart from the main series of records from the Suffolk Regiment archives (which will be included in a separate leaflet Records Relating to the 1914-1918 War – part 2) and individual photographs (which will be included in a separate leaflet Records Relating to the 1914-1918 War – part 3) (B) = Bury St. Edmunds Record Office; (I) = Ipswich Record Office; (L) = Lowestoft Record Office

Printed Books

This is a selection of books which relate specifically to the War, either as it affected the ‘Home Front’ in Suffolk or Suffolk people abroad on active service. This material forms a backcloth to and provides a context for the more detailed, personal, first-hand information that a study of manuscript sources provides.

Of course almost any history of a parish or town in the twentieth century will include material on the war and how it affected the community, as will many autobiographies and books of reminiscences. These are not listed here but should certainly be looked at. The same applies to parish and school magazines.

Finally Burrell photographed the dedication ceremonies for several of the war memorials erected in the villages and towns during the1920s.
