A collaboration that includes the BBC and the Imperial War Museum has produced a fascinating study of the British home front, assembled in a high quality 112-page PDF magazine. It can be read on smart phones of all makes in the UK, and on home and laptop computers anywhere. And — it's free. Below is a sampling of the excellent selection of images the editors included. Honestly, you have to be a bit of an Anglophile to fully appreciate it, but since all our editors at Worldwar1.com are and many of you readers are, we wholeheartedly recommend that you download this publication HERE.

ReplyDeleteI'd love to know how the tank flotation test went! I bet it is still at the bottom of the lake.
