Critchley letters and diaries 1940-45

Readers of Eric's blog may be interested to discover another new wartime blog: Critchley letters and diaries 1940-45.

Tom A Critchley's letters and his diaries give a vivid account of what it was like to live through the London Blitz in 1940-41. The archive is also a remarkable record of his reactions to war and the social changes he witnesses as a result of the conflict. My thanks to Barbara Critchley, who has compiled the blog, for drawing my attention to it. CP
