Home Front Thirsk - wartime memories of life in Thirsk
|
Home Front Thirsk invites you to step back in time to the Second World War. Thirsk
Museums latest web site brings together a fascinating
collection of wartime objects, photographs and documents, all relating to the people of Thirsk
and its surrounding villages.
Many of the exhibits are unique to the local area. All are clearly illustrated
and described, often with a choice of views and links to related items. The site
has been designed to be easy to use - you can go directly to your
chosen exhibit or just browse through one of the themes. As well as Civil
Defence, Civilian Life and Military Life, there are special themes for the Home Guard and
Prisoners-of-War, both of whom played important parts in the lives of local people.
Whether you are studying the Second World War or you lived in or around Thirsk during
the war years, youll find something of interest for all ages. See for yourself at
