Are there any books or other resources that analyze how socioeconomic class and classism came into play during World War One, particularly when it comes to the daily lives of servicemen and the difference between the experiences of officers and soldiers?
This source relates specifically to the British Army, but explores an often-ignored aspect of the British army during the war: temporary gentlemen. "Officers not gentlemen: officers commissioned from the ranks of the pre-First World War British regular army, 1903-1918" by Roger Deeks explores how the phenomenon permeated the British Army during the First World War and how it affected the gentleman officer class.
