What’s inside?

- Northamptonshire men and women who served in the forces
- The Northamptonshire Yeomanry
- The county’s American air bases
- The impact of war on the home front
It includes the story my father, Arthur Ward, with the Royal Signals, largely in his own words. Read more on Arthur Ward’s story
