In the early days of November each year we remember the sacrifices made during the First and Second World Wars and later conflicts. Since I’m writing a series of stories set in Northern Ireland during the Second World War, I’d like to remind readers about the part played by civilians during the war. From today until November 11th, I will honour the contributions made by those who remained at home by posting daily snippets of information about their efforts.

Beginning this morning at 11am, you’ll find these daily On The Home Front posts on my Facebook page.
