In this collection of memories sent in by families across New Zealand, you will find a rare insight into wartime life across generations and vocations.

Descriptions are given by a solider lying in his tent, hearing bombs land close by; young school children explain what it was like to have bomb shelter practices at school; a Land Girl meets the farmer she would work with for the first time.
