The appeal for volunteers saw men queuing around the block at recruiting offices. Most Angus soldiers served in France and Belgium, but others served in Gallipoli, Egypt and Palestine against the Ottoman Empire. Other men fought against the Turks in Mesopotamia (Iraq) and the Bulgarians in Salonika (Greece). Hundreds of women from Angus served as nurses and volunteers behind the lines and on other fronts. Countless men who had left the area to find work overseas before 1914 joined up. They served in the armies and navies of Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. Those who served in South African forces took part in campaigns against the German Colonies in Africa as well as fighting on the Western Front. This booklet explores some of the contributions to the military effort made by the people of Angus, as recorded in the local press.
