World War II Box

Following last session’s successful "War Detectives" project, the Education Resource Service has allocated some of this Lottery funding to purchase sets of replica artefacts related to this theme. These resources have been sourced from various locations, including the Imperial War Museum.
If you have already requested a project loan on this theme then you will automatically receive a set.

If you are planning this project next session and would like to ensure that you can borrow one of the ten sets, please let us know in advance. We hope that you will find them useful in enhancing your work with the pupils, and would be grateful for any comments on this new service.
The boxes will be loaned out for a term at a term.

Contents include:
Ration book, newspaper, evacuation label, posters, letters, diary extracts, Ministry of Food leaflets, photographs, audio-tapes, Churchill’s speeches, CDs (Recollections from veterans), escape kit.
