Free FreeDr Clare Makepeace, UCL History
Tommies queued in their hundreds to visit brothels in the First World War. Dr Clare Makepeace explores this little-discussed aspect of the war. She uncovers soldiers' reasons for visiting brothels, their reactions to them and the prostitutes, and how they dealt with the potential consequences: venereal disease. The findings give us fresh insight into what it meant to be a British man at war.
Please note that this event is TICKETED and PRE-BOOKING IS ESSENTIAL.
