3 Cheers!

Thank you for your most kind words and comments, Brian. As I mention elsewhere, my goal is to record my own experiences, accompanied by contemporary photographs and documents, relating to the British Home Front during WW2 before I die. To that end, I am constantly refining and adding to my Web pages. I am anxious to record the stories and exploits of as many people as possible who lived through those tumultuous times -- particularly in Lancashire - together with their photographs and documents before they are lost to history.
I provide links on my WW2 British Home Front Web pages via my
WW2 British Home Front Directory to several similar sites as mine, some of which contain additional information in great detail.
The BBC instituted a massive program titled "The People's War" which is a vast repository for individual stories, but the submissions have to be brief vignettes out of necessity. There are some other similar projects.
I want to record the minutia of every day living -- again mostly in Lancashire -- on the British Home Front during WW2. Hopefully, others will contribute their own experiences and materials -- I would be most happy to compose Web pages for them to record their stories and store and present them via my own server. Time is running short: WW2 British Homefront survivors are dying at an alarming rate every day.
James
