Description
The Wirral Peninsula in north-west England was a region deeply affected by the two world wars. Many residents lost their lives in combat and as a result of the area being targeted, particularly around the docks and Birkenhead and Wallasey during World War II. The conflicts had a devastating impact on local communities, causing widespread destruction, evacuation of children, and hardships at home. The people of Wirral played a significant role in both wars, with many serving on ships that kept vital routes open, defending the docks against aerial bombardment, or working on RAF airfields. Historian Mike Royden tells the stories of these local men, women, and children who endured the horrors of conflict, paying tribute to their experiences and sacrifices. This book provides a personal and poignant account of life in Wirral during two of the most significant conflicts of the 20th century, shedding light on the tribulations faced by those living through this period.
