KNOWN TO THE NIGHT: Reckitt’s Factory and The Great War 1914-1918

A model local history of the part played in the Great War by the workforce of Reckitts’ starch and colouring factory - Hull’s biggest employer in 1914. Includes lists of honours, Roll of Honour, and the story of Reckitt’s women staff who set up a V.A.D. hospital in Hull.

A model history of a local community’s part in the Great War - in this case, not a Pals’ battalikon, but a factory : that of Reckitts’ , in 1914 Hull’s largest employer and one of the biggest names in the starching and colouring industry. Hull historian Barrie Barnes here reconstructs the part played by Reckitts’ workforce in the war, from the soldiers who vulunteered and fought to the Reckitts’ women who set up a V.A.D hospital in Hull. In a monumental piece of research, Barnes has researched the individual stories of soldiers and their families; (incl;uding in many cases photographs); traced the descendants’ of those who took part, and in appendices lists battle honours and awards and the Reckitts Roll of Honour.
