About this Event

Join local historian Phil Rowett for a fascinating talk that begins on the day war broke out and ends with an incredible true story β€” a stolen ambulance stopped by police gunfire at the Scotsgate in 1946.

All the examples come from right here in our area, offering a vivid picture of what life was really like on the Home Front between 1939 and 1945.
