This book examines the experiences and impact of wartime mobilization in the county of Devon. It argues that a crucial role was played by the county's elites who became the self-appointed intermediaries of the war experience on a local level and who took an explicitly exhortative role, attempting to educate Devonians in the codes of idealconduct in wartime. These armchair patriots, defined by the local commentator StephenReynolds as 'provincial patriots', superintended the patriotism of Devon's population,evaluating that patriotism against the strength of their own.
