“Fabulous. Encouraged some great learning and conversation around WW2” – Home schooling family.
Although it was mainly men who went off to fight the war, the families left behind at home also had a part to play. The Home Front is the description given to the huge effect of the war on people’s everyday lives, both hardship and real danger as war came, for the first time into virtually every city in Britain.
