First episode of a new Their Finest Hour podcast mini-series examining a selection of stories submitted to the Online Archive.
In this first episode of "Stories from the Archive", Dr Joseph Quinn guides us through the Online Archive by introducing us to a selection of 5 personal stories submitted by participants from across the UK. These stories include a heart-warming tale of local friendships with Italian prisoners-of-war in Hampshire and an excerpt from a memoir which details one family's experience of the Canterbury Blitz in June 1942.
