LIFE IN CORNWALL 1939-1942

Extracts from the West Briton newspaper, a glimpse of life in Cornwall during the difficult early years of World War II.

Articles in this volume include both the trivial and the traagic but mainly reflect a picture of ordinary people attempting to serve their country and get on with their lives.

From the back cover, "The emphasis has been to show what were, during those days, everyday events--ARP exercises, fitting gas masks, collecting salvage, raising money for spitfires, Land army girls at work, air-raid damage, filling sandbags, and much more."

Black and white photographs from the Ellis collection at the Cornish Studies library greatly add to the book. Edited by Catharine Ince.
