World War 2 Memories

Peoples War Logo
Between June 2003 and January 2006, the BBC asked the public to contribute their memories of World War Two to an online archive. Nationwide, this lead to an archive of some 47,000 stories and 15,000 images. Epsom and Ewell Local and Family History Centre collected the second highest number of stories in the country. More infomation is available on the www.bbc.co.uk website.
