World War 2
During World War 2 many privations were felt
on the Home Front. The Home Guard were
well-trained to defend Britain. Rationing
was a way of life for the British. The blitz
was affecting many major cities and more
besides. Gas Masks had to be carried
everywhere at all times. Winston Churchill
(seen above in a Land Rover) was a familiar figure from posters and also
touring the bombed areas, with hhis
trademark V sign (V for victory) and his fat
cigar. Monty can be seen in this photo.
