Did the general public have radio (i.e. 'the wireless') in their homes in WWI? I mean, it's mentioned a lot in relation with the Second World War but I wanted to know if people were gathered round the wireless listening to reports and news in 1918 (near the end of the War). Thanks!

I shouldn't have thought so although they had wireless communication in the trenches of a sort .It was the early twenties before people had radios in the home .

No. Radio broadcasting only started in England in 1922.
