Leamington History Group launches new film about life in town during Second World War
Leamington History Group has launched a new film about life in town during the Second World War and it is now available to watch on Youtube.
Leamington at War, the sixth film made for the history group by Mark Ellis, was launched on Monday (December 15) at an event hosted by The Loft Theatre Company.
Drawing upon interviews, archive media and dramatic reconstructions, this film presents a vivid account of the town’s wartime experiences and explores how the community adapted and endured through one of the most transformative periods in British history.
The new film tells local stories about how life in the town changed to adapt to wartime conditions during the Second World War, and how local people responded.
It also illustrates how the town was involved in some significant national and international stories, such as the work of the Camouflage Directorate and experiences of the Free Czechoslovak Army.
