Good luck to you Mary. The social history of WWl, or what happened on the home fronts, is a relatively neglected aspect of the conflict. Another point, before Susie pipes up
: English has what has been called a "moribund subjunctive"; but certain cases still call for its use.
Just crossed my mind (short trip, eh) that there is a large body of war poems. Most, of course, deal with the experience at the Front; however, there may be some that deal with the home front. Sassoon's "Blighters" comes to mind. However, this is not my area of study; so, have fun ....
