This blog posts extracts from E J Rudsdale's diaries of life on the home front in Britain during the Second World War. Each extract was posted exactly 70 years after it was first written, marking the 70th anniversary of the Second World War between 2009-2015.
23rd March 1940
My Father’s Birthday, 68 years old. Still keeping as well as he can, and seems to take a bright interest in things. Gave him the usual tobacco, etc. and a silly little box of fancy matches. He knew more or less what was coming, but was just as quietly satisfied as always, dear old man. I do so hope he can see this war out.
