War Centenary: Military families

The First World War was one of the deadliest conflicts in history, killing more than 16 million people.

In November 1918, after four long years, the Armistice was signed and the guns fell silent.

In a series of special reports, we'll be marking the centenary of the war.

Hear the story of Chris Jupp's family:

But there were also military families with professional soldiers and women keen to serve in any way they could.

Chris Jupp's family was one of them. As he explains, they saw more than their fair share of tragedy.
