The contributions on this site are mainly taken from an archive of recordings taken in 1983. As part of the Peoples Network Project the McLean Museum, in combination with Inverclyde Libraries are currently recording wartime reminiscences from members of the public. The towns of Inverclyde - Greenock, Gourock & Port Glasgow - played a crucial part in the war effort, being the point of entry for the vast majority of troops. Many convoys started their journeys from here, and many foreign troops spent time here. If anyone would like to record their experiences of visiting or living in this area during the war, please contact me via this web site or at the McLean Museum, 15 Kelly St., Greenock, PA16 8JX
