Hello Everyone

Let me introduce myself. I have been appointed as co-ordinator, by a steering group. This steering group are representatives of the 大象传媒 - People's War Outreach Project, South Gloucestershire Council, including their libraries, Filton Community History Project, and Bristol City Council, and that includes their libraries and the Bristol Record Office.

Having recently been involved as a research assistant in an award winning website project, on the History of Aviation in South Gloucestershire, (www.transportarchive.org.uk) I am very proud and extremely pleased to be involved in this one.

I have many contacts who are willing to allow me to put their World War Two stories on this site. I now also have helpers who are contributing and adding stories onto this page; and I am sure that you will enjoy reading them as much as I am.

Jackie Ashman
