This war's memory is passed down from generation to generation, living in family archives and museum collections. However, British views on the Great War have evolved over the course of a century. The article examines how, among intellectual and political elite, the perception of the WWI has been changing and correlating with domestic and world developments.

The success in it depended not only on the performance of the armies, but also – and as the war continued, even more so – on the state of the home front. As Jay Winter and Antoine Prost put it '…winning the war became a test of the legitimacy of the political and social order'. 2 Indeed, the socio-political organization of each state was challenged by the task to mobilize national resources, and the ability of both the government and the society to answer such a challenge became essential for the outcome of the war for every country. The war effort was supported by both constraint on the part of the state and consent of the population to endure it. Although historians disagree on the relative role of each of these two factors, 3 it is evident that the combination of both provided for the effectiveness of mobilization.
