Synopsis
TELLING THE STORY OF THE ISLE OF BUTE'S CONTRIBUTION TO THE SECOND WORLD WAR BOTH MILITARY AND ON THE HOME FRONT THROUGH DESCRIPTION AND PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH ILLUSTRATIONS During the 1939-45 war British citizens were in the front line for the first time in history. Although Bute was fortunate and escaped from air raids, everyone from the youngest baby to the oldest person was affected in one way or another. Possibly there is no other small place where so much Naval and Military action occurred, and so much voluntary work was undertaken. This book records some of the acts of bravery and pays tribute to all the people of Bute who worked so well together during those dark days of war. The stories, now revealed will bring nostalgic memories to the older members of the population, bring awareness to the young, and kept as a record for future generations.
