The Second World War Experience Centre - World War Two (WW2 world war 2) Personal Experiences on the Home Front and on active service World War Two 2 Memories of War WW2

Our mission: To collect and encourage access to the surviving testimony of men and women who lived through the years of the Second World War and to ensure that different audiences share and learn from the personal recollections preserved in the collection.

May we record your wartime memories?

The recording of Veterans' recollections before it is too late is one of the main aims to be achieved when the Second World War Experience Centre was created. There are now almost 4,000 recorded interviews and every day more requests are made to join the programme. They come from all sectors – the Old Comrades from all three Services, munition workers, land girls, evacuees and conscientious objectors.

We invite all concerned, who have experiences to recount, to come forward and volunteer to be interviewed. We ask Service, Corps, Regimental and Squadron or other Associations to make known all their older members, via their newsletters, the opportunity to join this programme volunteering their recollections to add further vivid life to our archives.

We hope that many more veterans will be motivated to volunteer by the powerful thought that this will one way of remembering those who died, and ensuring their sacrifice continues to be recollected through these recorded interviews, which remain a rich and authentic resource for researchers and historians in the years ahead.
