I would be
grateful if you could circulate this request to your members thanks very
much Janette ‘Mixing it’ project Did a member of your family fight
alongside the British in the Second World War
or arrive as a war worker, prisoner of war or refugee? A research
project at the University of Huddersfield is recording the histories of
the different national groups which spent time in the North of England
during World War II as part of a project investigating
the diversity of Britain’s war time population. We are hoping to
interview ex-service personnel, war workers and refugees but, as most
are very elderly, we are also interested in speaking with their
descendants. Besides recording memories and family stories
the project team is looking for photographs, diaries and memorabilia.
Information gathered by this project will feed into an exhibition at the
Imperial War Museum North which opens in September 2015. If you can
help we would be delighted to hear from you. Please
contact Janette Martin, j.martin@hud.ac.uk,
