Do you remember Digging for Victory and the Squander Bug? Were you involved with the war work of local companies? Were you a member of the Land Army, the Home Guard or the ARP? Do you remember the evacuees arriving from London or maybe you were an evacuee yourself? Do you have memories of blackout curtains and utility clothing? Perhaps you remember the aircraft flying in and out of Bovingdon Airfield?
The Dacorum Heritage Trust, Hertfordshire Libraries and Dacorum Volunteer Bureau have joined forces to help you record your memories for the BBC People’s War website. These can be put directly onto the BBC People’s War website with the help of Library staff and volunteers, or taped or written.
