“…Besides triggering a spate of books, articles, essays and conferences over the past decade (e.g. Snape 2006;Gregory 2014;Jenkins 2014), the rediscovery of religion as a salient and even ubiquitous feature of the experience of the First World War has meant that histories of British religion during the twentieth century can no longer readily ignore the impact of 1914 to 1918 on the British churches and on lived religion (compare, for example, Brown 2001 andBrown 2006). This article, which arises from the work of the AHRC and HLF-funded First World War Engagement Centre 'Voices of War and Peace: the Great War and its Legacy', seeks to explore questions of continuity and change in the religious experience of armed conflict, taking as its subjects the chaplains and soldiers of the British Expeditionary Force (or B.E.F.…”

The year 2014 marked the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War and the end of eight years of major British combat operations in Afghanistan. Against the background of profound religious changes in British society over the course of the intervening century, this article examines the continuities and discontinuities between British army chaplaincy on the Western Front from 1914 to 1918 and in southern Afghanistan from 2006 to 2014, and explores the religious beliefs and practices of British soldiers caught up in the deadly and protracted struggles on the Western Front and in Helmand Province. While acknowledging major differences in the operational contexts involved and seismic shifts in British religious life over the course of the twentieth century, besides important divergences this article identifies striking degrees of continuity between the ministry of army chaplains and the religious attitude and behaviour of soldiers themselves.

“…After a century of infancy, a century of childhood, and a century of adolescence, she has come at last to her majority, and reports for duty.' 28 Although lacking in numbers (in 1916 it ranked as America's ninth largest denomination) 29 the Protestant Episcopal Church possessed enormous wealth in relation to its size 7 and, in what has been described as America's 'great age of Episcocratic supremacy', 30 it also enjoyed unrivalled social prestige and cultural cachet. Despite the generally Loyalist leanings of the Anglican clergy during the Revolutionary War, Anglicanism had been well represented among the Founding Fathers and it had been the faith of George Washington-and, by 1916, of no fewer than seven of his twenty-six successors as president, a tally unrivalled by any other denomination.…”

This article argues that the First World War did not just aggravate nationalist sentiments but also encouraged intercultural exchange and a better understanding of other societies and ways of life. Indeed, the wartime prevalence of notions of solidarity and integration requires more attention and careful analysis. The essay explores three key issues, focusing in particular on solidarity practices and transnational interaction. It investigates military alliances, the collaboration between national independence movements, and the role of neutral countries as refuge and gathering place of pacifist groups and intellectuals. Many of these actors discussed and promoted forms of at least regional cooperation in post-war Europe
