People's Stories of World War II

Imperial War Museum - Duxford - People's Stories of World War II

From Tuesday 26 to Friday 29 May, and on Sunday 31 May, Imperial War

Museum Duxford brought the history of the Second World War vividly to life with the first hand experiences of those who fought and lived through those tumultuous times.

Veterans representing the Royal and Merchant Navies, RAF, the Army, and people living and working on the Home Front, chatted informally to visiting members of the public.

This fantastic opportunity to hear personal experiences of the war years, will be held again between Tuesday 28 and Friday 31 July 2009, when Second World War veterans will be joined by veterans from the Royal Anglian Regiment who have served in conflicts since 1945, including Malaya and Northern Ireland.
