British War Library
text:
The British War Library service was a venture launched in 1914 to provide reading material to World War I British soldiers. It was one of the first examples of bibliotherapy in a military context, inspiring the American Library War Service to be founded a few years later - although earlier examples can be found, e.g. the Soldiers' Free Library. The service was created by Helen Mary Gaskell, using Lady Battersea's large but empty London home Surrey House as a base. It began operations in 1914. Ga
