Book 9 Part 2 - Montville Remembers: World War Two 1939-1945

Montville Remembers: World War Two 1939-1945 is Book 9 Part 2 in the Montville Stories Series. This book briefly introduces the context of the Second World War and pays tribute with a roll of honour identifying those men and women who worked and lived in Montville describing their military history and their lives before and after the war. In addition to the 67 men and 13 women on the Montville Honour Board, another 28 enlistees were discovered during research for this book.
 
The book also explains how the war came to Montville; with land army girls, troops in training at the sportsground and camped at Balmoral Lookout, with older men who continued working their farms but who were part of the Volunteer Defence Corps (VDC). There were military personnel staying at Guesthouses while on leave, and there were the Italian Prisoners of War who worked on the pineapple farms and the citrus orchards. 
 
The book is 350 pages with around 280 photos collected from archives and from families of the military personnel.
