Home Front Recall

The purpose of the ‘Homefront Recall’ project is to reflect on the experiences of the people who grew up during the uncertain days of the Second World War. These pages contain their memories, reflect their feelings, highlight their fears and bring forth their insights into the shared experience of war throughout the city of Belfast and beyond.

I hope that in this website the important role of the civilian in the city is recognised, and the overall impact of the war on family life is illuminated. Finally, as the Second World War affected everyone, regardless of background, class or creed. I hope the memories expressed on these pages help us move towards a shared remembrance of those dark days and strengthens our resolve never to forget the contribution made by the people of Ireland , North and South, during WWII.
