From the publicity notice to members of the Ellesmere Port Local History Society:
We are delighted to welcome back Mike Royden, who recently appeared as a researcher on the BBC's 'Who Do You Think You Are'. His talk will cover a variety of aspects that were taking place on the Home Front such as recruitment, fund-raising, local factories closing and the hardships caused by wide unemployment, the fear of air raids, the paranoia caused by Germans in the Port, the men who returned home with their stories of the Front and those who returned to their families with serious injuries, many of whom died and were buried in local cemeteries. There will also be references to biographies of many of the local men who paid the ultimate sacrifice - those now recorded on the local war memorial and the pilgrimages to the battlefields to discover where they fought and died.

8 September 2014, 7pm-9.00pm. Little Sutton Library, Wirral

Due to the demand for tickets, this is an additional booking and a repeat of the talk given at the library in July.

(Details are as per the earlier lecture).
