THE HOME FRONT

To introduce cc41.net - Britain's war effort on the home front - we offer a few words written over sixty years ago... an extract from a letter written by Mrs. Miniver on 25th September 1939...




Mrs. Miniver By Jan Struther.  Published by Chatto & Windus LONDON 1939

"I wonder whether it's too much to hope that afterwards, when all the horrors are over, we shall be able to conjure up again the feelings of these first few weeks and somehow rebuild our peace-time world so as to preserve everything of war which is worth preserving ?   What we need is a kind of non-material war museum, where instead of gaping at an obsolete uniform in a glass case, we can press a magic button and see a vision of ourselves as we were while this revealing mood was freshly upon us"

Press this MAGIC BUTTON to enter a vision of Britain at War 1939 - 45
