Women and the war effort in Britain, 1914-19181. The two sources, D and G, show many differences. Source D is written by a man several years later than the period we are talking about. This is not first-hand evidence. He may have gathered his information from accounts written at the time, but he could have changed it to suit the angle from which he writes.
