Childhood Memories of Wartime

Personalised!

Inspired by The Francis Frith Collection, a nationally important archive of historical photographs recording the people and places of Britain between 1860 and 1970, this book showcases some of the best anecdotes about life in Britain during and just after the Second World War that have been contributed to the Share Your Memories feature of the Frith website. The result is an absorbing, poignant and sometimes amusing account of life on the Home Front during the war. Amongst the heartwarming stories included in this book are recollections of evacuated children, accounts of how people coped during air-raids, memories of childhood pranks, sweet rationing and pestering American soldiers with “Got any gum, chum?”, and the story of Bradford’s famous deﬁant pufﬁng pie!

" I ordered a book with a personalised touch (from my youngest kids to their grandma). Having the option to personalise is one of the reasons I bought it. It was promptly delivered, no fuss, no delays. An absolutely beautiful pictorial historical account of my Mum's home town, which I am sure she will be delighted with.

Thank you very much Francis Frith."
