AnnotationA leaflet that advertises the exhibition Production Front! during the 60th anniversary commemorative events in London in July, and at the TUC Conference in September 2005. This exhibition remembers the achievements of millions of war workers in Britain, mostly of whom were women. The exhibition and the NPC publication "Fortress Britain" are part of the Voices Recall project 2005. More than 70 people were interviewed, the main focus being working lives and trade union experiences during the war. The full interviews will appear on the TUC Library Collections website, Voices from the Workers War: Home Front Recalled (www.unionhistory.info). (KJ/RH).
