The small Hampshire town of Petersfield saw little direct conflict during the Second World War, yet its story reflects all the anxieties and concerns of Britain’s inhabitants during that period: food shortages, evacuees, blackout restrictions, family losses – and the characteristically phlegmatic approach to these problems by all concerned. David Jeffery’s research has uncovered some remarkable stories of individuals caught up in these world-changing events, and a series of interviews with over fifty long-time residents vividly brings back to life the everyday realities and intense atmosphere of these troubled times. This evocative record of the effect of the war will serve as a memorial to an exceptional period in Petersfield’s history.
