Yorkshire At War - Nostalgia At Its Very Best (DVD) (2005) NEW. Condition is "New". Dispatched with Royal Mail 1st Class Large Letter.
Featuring rare cine film from the vaults of The Yorkshire Film Archive and other collections.
From the first Luftwaffer plane to be shot down over England near Whitby, to dancing in the streets of Bradford on VE Day. From the blitzed cities of Hull and Sheffield to the fundraising activities in Settle, Bridlington and Beverley. From building Lancasters and tanks in Leeds, to the Land Army working the fields while, beneath them, miners dug for victory.
Yorkshire's contribution to victory in the second world war cannot be overstated. While their families suffered at home, Yorkshire's servicemen were fighting in all theatres of war. Yorkshire trawlers hunted submarines and swept mines, her merchant seamen risked all on the Murmansk Run and the flat lands of Yorkshire played host to the bomber crews who carried the fight to the heart of Germany. The Free French were billeted in Yorkshire prior to their triumphant return home.
Nostalgia doesn't get any better than this.
