Whilst running their genteel restaurant in the Home Counties, Kate Bliss and Elsie Whiteman found themselves directed by the Ministry of Labour in late 1941 to work in an aircraft component factory at the height of Britain's war effort. Thrown into a whole new world of industrial work, the two women kept a joint diary from 1942 to 1944. This diary provides a unique insight into life in a wartime factory, the destiny of one and half million British women. The entry of large numbers of women into the workforce brought about a permanent change in the attitudes to womens employment and the diaries record the effect of the new social and economic freedoms. Sue Bruley's introduction places these diaries in the context of women's experience in WW II and discusses their relationship to other published women's memoirs of the time.

This reference work was originally published by the French General Staff under the title Manual of the Chief of Platoon of Infantry. This is a manual of instruction for platoon commanders and NCOs regarded as potential commanders. It was to be used as the basis of training given in units at rest, in Schools of Instruction in the Armies and was also intended for officer-instructors at depots and camps of instruction in the interior. It was to be a guide for the new arrivals so that they might be quickly ready to conduct themselves and fight like their comrades in the line. Every aspect of trench warfare is considered - tactics, organization, weapons, equipment, communications etc. A number of chapters are shown in the contents as Omitted - presumably on security grounds.

"From Wikipedia: The Churchill War Rooms is a museum in London and one of the five branches of the Imperial War Museum. The museum comprises the Cabinet War Rooms, a historic underground complex that housed a British government command centre throughout the Second World War, and the Churchill Museum, a biographical museum exploring the life of British statesman Winston Churchill. As a branch of a national museum, the Churchill War Rooms is supported by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, by admissions income and the museum's commercial activity. Construction of the Cabinet War Rooms, located beneath the Treasury building in the Whitehall area of Westminster, began in 1938. They became operational in August 1939, shortly before the outbreak of war in Europe. They remained in operation throughout the Second World War, before being abandoned in August 1945 after the surrender of Japan. After the war the historic value of the Cabinet War Rooms was recognised. Their preservation became the responsibility of the Ministry of Works and later the Department for the Environment, during which time very limited numbers of the public were able to visit by appointment. In the early 1980s the Imperial War Museum was asked to take over the administration of the site, and the Cabinet War Rooms were opened to the public in April 1984."
