Books, Manuscripts
The railway system during World War II was the lifeline of the nation. It mobilised troops, transported munitions, evacuated children and kept vital food supplies moving. Railwaymen and women were so vital to the war effort that they were not allowed to join up - though many did so. Nearly 400 workers were killed at their posts and another 2,400 injured in the line of duty. This is a story of courage which has not been told before.
