• The dreadful truth about Dad’s Army
• What happened when an elephant got loose in the blackout
• Who made a meal out of maggots

• Why wearing white knickers could kill you
What with doodlebug bombs dropping out of the sky and sweet rationing driving kids (and teachers) mad, life in the Second World War was truly wicked.
