Air Raid Wardens, in early 1940. FASCINATING photographs showing how British families coped at home during WW2 have been exposed in a new book. The black and white pictures reveal the truth behind the lifestyles of British civilians enduring the struggles of the war, hiding in public shelter trenches in the village of Burnham Norton, Norfolk in 1938. Other images show the intense moment the German airship Graf Zeppelin flew over the British coast in 1931 and a group of Norwich City Engineers wearing gas masks for decontamination in 1939. Another picture shows a vulnerable family making their way into a newly dug-in Anderson Shelter in Newcastle which contrasts with an endearing portrait of a wartime couple on their wedding day. The fascinating pictures are included in a new book The Home Front in World War Two by Neil R. Storey and Fiona Kay and is published by Amberley Publishing. Neil is an award-winning social historian specialising in the study of the outcome of war on British society in the first half of the 20th century.
