Abstract
How should we approach a global war from the perspective of a nation without a state? How does one write of Scotland’s fighting forces when even the most ‘Highland’ of regiments boasted English,Welsh, Irish and Commonwealth soldiers in their ranks? How do we reach the histories of civilians and communities fed, entertained, employed and nursed by a state machinery that politicised and standardised the most private realms of life across the United Kingdom? Is there a Scottish story of the Second World War?
