Outbreak 1939

Focusing on key events during the lead-up to and start of WWII, the exhibition is linked to an ITV1 documentary of the same name. It includes the personal accounts of journalists and soldiers on the front line, toys and possessions of young evacuees and the jacket worn by King George VI when he addressed the nation on September 3 1939, just after the announcement from Neville Chamberlain that war with Germany had broken out.
