Abstract

The First World War has been extensively documented and much studied. Nonetheless, there was still scope remaining for the centenary years to stimulate fresh exploration and the discovery of a great deal that was alternative, unfamiliar, and challenging. The home-front experience attracted particular and long-overdue attention. Meanwhile, another history, that of the co-operative movement, has generated considerable general survey and analysis as well. However, it has left neglected deep local study, and understanding of the complexities, nuances, and contradictions borne out in individual society contexts. This article, on the Lincoln Co-operative Society, brings these two lines of historical together. It yields both new insight on the First World War at home, and different perspective on the shifting nature and enhanced significance of co-operation at this time of crisis, local, national, and international.
