Download or read book The 1940s - How Was It for You? Hundreds of Personal Memories of the 1940s written by Rob Horlock and published by 20th Century Memories. This book was released on 2017-06-24 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'How Was It for You?' is an extensive collection of hundreds of people's personal memories from the unforgettable decade of the 1940s. Whilst many of these memories are of experiences in World War Two, a host of other events in the decade are also recalled. Serious, sad, emotional and humorous stories and anecdotes are all recounted in a variety of styles. A great gift for anyone who lived through these times or who has an interest in this era.If you lived through the 1940s, 'How Was It for You?' will certainly bring back many memories. If you can't recall the decade yourself, the book will give you an interesting snapshot of the life and times endured and enjoyed by your older friends and relatives.Researchers into the 1940s will find a host of 'personal views', the memories of real people recalling their lives at that time.The decade was, of course, dominated by World War Two, the world's bloodiest conflict. During the course of the war, 300,000 British servicemen and women were killed. Four million returned to 'civvy street' to pick up their lives. Many peoples' outlooks were changed forever and women, in particular, looked at the world through different eyes after the war.Rationing was in force throughout the 1940s. In spite of (or perhaps, because of) this, the general health of the average person was better after the war than it had been at the start of the decade.Princess Elizabeth married Philip Mountbatten in 1947; the wedding was a welcome break from post-war austerity and amongst the wedding presents was a gift from the Cabinet - all of their combined food coupons. After the war, the electorate chose a socialist government and Churchill was defeated in the election of 1945. People looked forward to a better life. The National Health Service was launched and Social Security was introduced. Working class children with ability were given the chance to improve themselves with the introduction of the 11+ exam, the gateway to a Grammar School education. The winter of 1947 was the worst of the century. The River Thames froze, industry was crippled and there were regular electricity cuts. Further afield, Europe was divided in to the Capitalist West and the Communist East by an 'Iron Curtain.' The state of Israel was founded and China became a People's Republic led by Chairman Mao. India was granted Independence.More details can be found at www.20thcenturymemories.com

Book excerpt: Do you remember collecting shrapnel and listening to Children's Hour? Carrying gas masks or sharing your school with evacuees from the city? The 1940s was a decade of great challenge for everyone who lived through it. The hardships and fear created by a world war were immense. Britain's towns and cities were being bombed on an almost nightly basis, and many children faced the trauma of being parted from their parents and sent away to the country to live with complete strangers. For just over half of this decade the war continued, meaning food and clothing shortages became a way of life. But through it all, and afterwards, the simplicity of kids shone. From collecting bits of shot-down German aircraft to playing in bomb-strewn streets, kids made their own fun. Then there was the joy of the second half of the 1940s, when fathers came home and the magic of 'normal life' returned. This trip down memory lane will take you through the most memorable and evocative experiences of growing up in the 1940s.

Book Synopsis Mineral Springs Road 1940s by : M. B. Spears
Download or read book Mineral Springs Road 1940s written by M. B. Spears and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-11-01 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States, once upon a time not long ago, was filled with family farms. You could walk along a country road and pass family after family. They'd maybe be working in the fields or around in the yard. They might be lounging on the porch drinking sweet cold tea. No big operations on houseless land, no amalgamations, no paved roads, no total efficiency, just home. They'd wave, and you'd wave. Growing fills a child's day all the way up. Years later we might -- or might not -- remember what was happening in the big world. Like the Great Depression, which (for some) was gone. And World War II, fought by Americans (mostly farm boys) far from home. In the 1940s, a child was growing up hungry to learn. She already knew that mules, herd dogs, and turkey gobblers don't like children but nanny goats and little dogs do, that bare feet are best, and that money is 'way less important than freedom and good grownups. Soon as she could read and print, she filled a dime-store diary every year. Each had a tiny clasp and key. At the end of summer 1949 she unlocked her diaries and found them tricky to read but full of true-to-life telling about animals, clashes, bravery, tangles, crops, shadows, lightning bugs and lightning. She spent 4 months translating their jumble into 20-some notebooks. Being in school by now and seeing differences, she added fierce defenses of feed-sack playclothes, outdoor toilets, and country ways. Being so young, the child couldn't grasp these further challenges of the 1940s: Farms are where the Great Depression hit first and gripped longest. Family farms depend on people who belong on the land, who brave its uncertainties. Those people are not considered good credit risks. Others without a clue how valuable farm life can be might get title. This means the ones with the most to lose often lose. Far more Americans went to war from farms than cities. Many came home eager to take up the lives they laid down. But post-war farmland could be bought up cheap by outsiders. On this confusing new battleground, who is the enemy? The Depression and the Duration combined to teach a dangerous double lesson: Take life day by day. Don't look too far forward. MINERAL SPRINGS ROAD 1940s is a little girl's notebooks, put together and expanded from memory. Its characters are tame, half-tame, and wild. At age not-quite-10, she's only half-tame herself, and too busy growing to realize how much she knows. Some chapters in her book: Reddish-Goldilocks Walking-Distance People How We Got Toby Pee Dee Country Nanny and the Soft Top Cap's Luck How Not To Ride a Mule Day of the Mad Fox The Army Air Base, the WAC, and Lassie Darlington Auction Market The Mint-Green House Storm, Lightning, Fire and Rain The Smell of Singed Fur The Mineral Spring Red Leather Pony And the last -- 28 December 1949 MINERAL SPRINGS ROAD 1940s is first in M B Spears' planned series MEMORY IS MY NAME.
