We are all listeners of ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Cleveland and have volunteered through the CSV Action Desk to help people within the Tees Valley area contribute their World War II stories to the People's War website.

We hope to help family, friends and fellow listeners who do not have access to a computer to contribute there story to the archive.

I do hope you enjoy reading the stories below which we aim to start gathering mid June 2005.

If you would like further information about joining as a volunteer call the CSV Action Desk Producer, Julie Donaldson at ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Cleveland on (01642) 340 612.

This contributor selected the following users as their 'friends'. Read more about this.
