Fear & Fun
 All proceeds to the Woodchurch Village Life Museum |
Local authors Jim Addy and John Pellett have compiled this fascinating 48-page, A4 booklet of life in Woodchurch during the Second World War. All material for the book comes from first-hand accounts of older Woodchurch inhabitants who lived through those terrifying but (for young boys, especially!) exciting years when Woodchurch was very much on the front line of the war in Europe. Included are accounts of the Woodchurch Home Guard, the Battle of Britain, German air raids, the arrival of US troops and the fighter airstrip at Henghurst, enemy prisoners of war, and the build-up to D-Day. Illustrated throughout with black-and-white photographs of the contributors, this is an informal but utterly absorbing local history for anyone wanting to look beyond official facts and figures and understand what life was like for ordinary men and women on the home front in Woodchurch.
