A Scrapbook of WW2 Memories

Ann Wheal

4.9/5 (16162 ratings)

Description:World War 2 was a dreadful time for anyone involved in the fighting and also for the people who lost loved ones. When a war is declared people worry as to how it might affect their families and themselves. For some it means being called up to fight in many different ways from being on the front line shooting guns; flying planes and dropping bombs; being captured and sometimes tortured and many more. The bravery and heroics of these groups has been well documented.There were many people who were not directly involved with the fighting but who also had difficult times; there were people in the forces who were not on the front line; there were those who were unable to join the forces who did other worthwhile jobs; there were women doing ‘men’s work’; and so many more. All these people have stories to tell.This book is for old and young alike. The stories are in the people’s own words and own style.The book is a collection of stories and quotations of people’s lives during WW2. It is the result of extensive research by the author who has carefully woven the material into a cohesive book.All the people whose material has been used in the book were interviewed face to face; talked to on the telephone or they sent written accounts or emails of their lives and experiences. All the stories are from people who are now in their 70’s, 80’s and even in their 90’s. Factually there may be a few minor inaccuracies but these people’s memories are as clear today about their experiences as they were when they occurred nearly 70 year’s ago. The ratio of women to men contributors reflects the fact that women outlive men by approximately 7:1.Appendix 1 is a list of terms used by the story tellers should a query arise as to a meaning of a word or phrase such as ack ack.At the top of some pages are boxes that contain quotations mainly from people who were children during the War. There are many more children’s quotations in section 3.Catherine O’Mahaney, a contributor and critical reader I enjoyed being reminded of my childhood years, but even more so reading the accounts of those children who, almost overnight, had to become adults and fill jobs left vacant by servicemen and women. The adult’s stories are really interesting, some sad, but the vast majority full of optimism and enjoyment. They showed that having lots of money wasn’t a pre-requisite for happiness.At the end I felt enormous pride in our country. Everyone played a part in victory, although at the time they were just existing from one day to another.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
