Title:
Brighton Behind The Front
Description:
Brighton Behind the Front gathers collections of photographs, letters, diaries, and a log book all relating to the impact of World War II on the Brighton community. The photographs mainly display air raid precautions, evacuations, and the destruction inflicted by bombing runs. While the stories range in theme from learning how to use a gas mask to rationing food, the newspaper articles, interviews, and testimonies share a collective sense of cooperation and bravery in the face of horrific circumstances.
