This 'Virtual Trail' brings together photographs of the county mobilised for war between 1914 and 1919 and contrasts them with a view of the same location today, giving a sense of the immediacy of the past within the present – whether it's the Royal Bucks Hussars at Buckingham, the Bucks Battalion leaving Aylesbury, the 21st Division at Halton, women munitions workers at High Wycombe, hospitals at Chequers and Cliveden, or the unveiling of the war memorials at Stewkley and The Lee. The Virtual Trail, which is on the Trust's website, includes 150 photographs
Newly added to the website is a three-part 1995 film on Buckinghamshire in the Second World War, originally produced for schools and featuring interviews with those who experienced war on the home front and overseas. This film has not been available for more than 20 years. See Bucks in WW2 Film and scroll down. |
