Wartime News, a quarterly publication of reminiscences of the Second World War, has been published since 1995.  A unique magazine written by the veterans themselves and produced by The Wartime Company, it enjoyed a loyal readership from those who served in WWII.  

Throughout its 16 years of publication, our readers contributed their experiences as ex-servicemen and women, with many truly remarkable accounts from all theatres of the war.   Many putting pen to paper for the first time, these recollections gave a graphic insight into some of the major battles of WWII.  Our readers told of their experiences whilst serving in the Army, Royal Navy and the RAF, along with those left behind to keep the home fires burning.  The stories of the ordinary soldier, sailor, airman, were portrayed in their own words, the day-to-day fear of doing their duty for King and Country against an aggressive enemy, whilst others recalled the lighter side of the war.  





















These true stories were not ‘history book’ stuff, but from the pens of the veterans themselves, always telling how is was throughout the dark days of the Second World War.  Of course, we don’t forget the valuable contribution made by all those in Civil Defence, the Women’s Land Army, and even the children whose young lives were shattered by the experience of war.

The story behind the publication’s success began with the 50th Anniversary of D-Day.                     As Co-ordinator of a programme of events in the south of England, Marilyn Ward produced a newsletter featuring reminiscences of the area prior to Operation Overlord in June 1944, when troops left from the ports of Poole, Weymouth and Portland, in addition to the gliders who flew from Tarrant Rushton airfield to land by Pegasus Bridge.  From autumn 1943, thousands of American troops from the US 1st Infantry Division, ‘the Big Red One’, were in the area preparing alongside British and Canadian troops, in readiness for the Normandy Landings.

Once the commemorations were over, many veterans asked why the stories of WWII could not continue to be told for the benefit of future generations.  So in 1995, Wartime News was launched as a quarterly publication and thereafter was widely read throughout the UK and overseas.

This was the background to Wartime News, remarkable stories of bravery, tragedy or light humour, recalled through the pens of the veterans from each of the forces, including the WAAFS, Wrens, Home Guard and the children.  The first edition was published in December 1995 and a total of 66 editions of Wartime News were produced to November 2011.
