Jack Sweet takes a personal look back to Yeovil during the six
momentous years of the Second World War and during the time when he
grew up. He tells of the air raids, how people rallied to civil
defence, welcomed thousands of young evacuees in 1939 and again in
1944. How people dealt with the many trials of a population facing
and enduring total war. Sitting for hours in uncomfortable air raid
shelters hearing German bombers flying overhead and wondering
whether the bombs would fall on Yeovil. How the townsfolk saved to
buy, a destroyer and a Spitfire, and 'Saluted the Soldier'. Heard
the roar of aircraft engines from the Westland Aircraft works and
watched Lysanders, Whirlwinds and Spitfires flying overhead.
Enjoyed the 'friendly invasion' of the US Army preparing for D-Day,
saw them go off to battle and finally the joy of VE and VJ-Days.
Total war meant that no-one in the town, young and old alike
escaped unaffected.
