There's a War On! World War II at Home

28 / 08 / 2009 – 03 / 07 / 2011

 

World War II was a time of great change for the people of NSW.  For some, supporting the war effort led to adventure, love, lasting friendships and new experiences. For others, wartime meant loss and hardship. There’s a War On! World War II at Home showcases the varied experiences of the men, women and children who fought the war on the home front.
