It is a story of bravery, ingenuity and fortitude that is being widely told for the first time - how the ordinary people of one city helped win a war.

A new online archive which chronicles Edinburgh's contribution to the First World War effort has been coordinated by the University of Edinburgh's Centre for the Study of The Two World Wars.

Researchers from the University of Edinburgh have been working with Edinburgh City Libraries, historians and community groups to compile the archive.
