The episode gives important background on the Defence of the Realm Act (DORA) of 1914, before looking at how people could help out the war effort (including discussions of charities, war bonds and women\'s work), before dealing with the increased production of munitions. As always, there is a quiz at the end, and a writing task, based on the role of women during the Great War.
