| Summary | "Doing Their Bit: War Work at Home" by Boyd Cable is a historical account written in the early 20th century, specifically during World War I. The book highlights the contributions of those on the home front, focusing on the munition workers and their efforts to support the troops in battle. It addresses the critical role of industry and labor in ensuring that the front lines receive the necessary supplies to sustain warfare. The opening of the work introduces a narrator who has returned from the front lines, bringing an urgent message about the importance of munition-making to the soldiers who are struggling in the trenches. Reflecting on his observations, he notes how the country's resources have been mobilized to meet the demands for munitions and addresses the skepticism felt by soldiers regarding promises made about supplies. The narrator offers a hopeful perspective, emphasizing the growing efficiency and output from factories dedicated to producing war materials. He acknowledges the past struggles but reassures the men that current efforts are substantial, provided that all workers at home continue to commit themselves to the tasks at hand.
