During the Second World War, across the frontline as well as on the Home Front, millions of people recorded their thoughts of their experiences – whether in letters, their personal diaries or those prosecuting the war giving speeches. Much as ‘Letters of Note’ celebrated the great letters written through history, so ‘Words of War’ allows the Imperial War Museum to showcase its incredible array of first-hand material to shine a light on how people journeyed through the 1939-45 conflict.
