Description

The book started as an oral history project with Oxford University’s Their Finest Hour team. South Shields Local History Group recorded our members and the public with their wartime stories about their parents, grandparents, friends experiences in WW2. These have now been turned into a 140 page book consisting of over 50 stories. The stories here cover most of the main theatres of war: the Home Front, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, North Africa, the Far East and the Atlantic Ocean. They also cover the various branches of the armed forces: Army, Merchant Navy, Navy and RAF and civilians.
