Description
Bournemouth at War by John Needham explores the town's experience during World War II. Once a deserted heathland, Bournemouth developed into a popular health resort and tourist destination before becoming a direct target of aerial bombing raids. The war had a devastating impact on local communities, with many homes destroyed, familiar buildings damaged, and lives lost. However, it was also a time of courage and fortitude as people struggled to continue with everyday life amidst the hardships of rationing, air raids, and evacuations. This book tells the stories of those who lived through this period, shedding light on the tribulations and resilience of the Bournemouth community. Through words and pictures, John Needham pays tribute to the people of Bournemouth who served, died, and endured during World War II.
