Description
This is a collection of women's poetry from the phoney war of 1939 to the postwar Christmas of 1945. It looks at the impact of the conflict and its consequences. The poems are arranged chronologically in order of the war years. Poems to loved ones killed, missing or abroad are gathere together with the thoughts of service women and nurses, and matter-of-fact comments about life on the home front - air raids, the blackout, rationing, the Dig for Victory campaign, the Women's Land Army and National Gallery concerts. In contrast, poems also record major events of World War II - Dunkirk, the fall of France, the Final Solution, and campaigns on many of the war zones.
