The UKHomefront Family of web sites.
These “mini” web sites have been used by Authors & T.V. Companies, Schools & University students to research the British Homefront.
They contain all the main speeches of the war, memories from both military & civilian. RAF poems & even a 40s style women's web site.
They show how we can be booked for your 40s event or as living history educators at your school.
Read on & enjoy.
