ost descendants grow up with a ‘lived history’ of the war in the family before they possess a ‘learned history’.7 When I began interviewing British descendants, I was initially taken aback by how little they knew about what their mothers and fathers did during the war. Some turned to fiction to fill in the gaps. Rosemary Game’s father was a tunneller who died of war-related rheumatism in his forties, she told me in 2013. Yet it was only after reading Sebastian Faulks’s Birdsong in the 1990s that she began to appreciate what he must have gone through. As a Mass Observation directive in 2014 showed, other descendants had also formed their impressions of the First World War by reading Birdsong.8 Shuttling between the war and the efforts of a granddaughter in 1978 to reconstruct the life of the grandfather she never knew, Birdsong spoke to their own experience of coming after.
