‘I Remember When I Was Young’ – the 1940s extract - is a collection of personal memories from the 1940s.
If you have purchased ‘I Remember When I Was Young – the 1920s to the 1960s’, then you already have this collection of memories. So please don’t buy this extract unless you mean to purchase it as a separate publication, specific to the decade of the 1940s.
I have had requests to publish the personal memories from specific decades – this is one of the extracts, which covers the 1940s.
The1940s extract covers the historical background to the decade. The main focus, though is on the stories and recollections from individuals throughout the UK and abroad. A wide range of personal memories from childhood, early adulthood and later life. Some recall humorous or emotional incidents unconnected with the world around them; others describe episodes that have a direct connection to the major events of the day. Written in a variety of styles, all recall a time very different to the present day and all who lived at that time will feel a sense of belonging and possibly a tinge of regret that this time has now passed. Younger readers may be astonished at some of the day to day activities that were taken for granted by their older relatives.
The memories paint a picture of life as it was lived by the individuals concerned. Some led similar lives. Some had very different experiences. All are real people sharing their memories with the rest of us. The memories captured in this book show how values and lifestyles have changed – perhaps not always for the better…
