French military interpreters attached to the British troops during the First World War often experienced considerable difficulty in explaining their position even to close relatives. They felt the need to justify the fact that they were not exposed to the same immediate danger as most of their French comrades in arms. Furthermore, their daily work...

This volume presents translation as a powerful activity by revisiting the roles of translators and interpreters and the contexts of translation and interpreting in societies affected by globalisation and migration. The articles in this volume cover topics such as the impact languages have on translation, the institutional constraints in the context...

Over the course of the last ten years, we have reached the “digital age” and computers as well as resources available via the Internet have become indispensable tools for all researchers.

This paper investigates the status, the functioning and the organisation of the British officers’ mess on the Western Front. What is usually considered a specifically British space is shown to be engaged in multiple levels of interaction, negotiation, and exchange with the surrounding reality of allied warfare. Three particular elements are conside...
