World War Two

Our World War II programme focuses on Portsmouth during the Blitz, the role of Fort Nelson and the “bigger picture”.

We use our extensive handling and wearing collections of real and replica artefacts and discover what our families did during the War.

This is a highly popular activity that not only looks at the War itself but often sparks the interest in a family history.
