For an account of the build-up to World War One, with a brief timeline of events in the Wood family during the same period, go to Part One: The Road to War, 1850-1914. To read about the events of the First World War, with accompanying information about what was happening to the Woods, go to Part Two: The Great War, 1914-1918. If you would rather just find out about the Wood family, go to Part Three: The Wood Family Biographies.
