Study Day Information
Join us in 1941 where the volunteer forces need new recruits in the Home Front units: ARP, ATS and Home Guard. Your students will be put through their paces by:
- Performing a Home Guard drill, including a wooden rifle and grenade throwing.
- Develop their understanding of women's roles in WW2 and practice their aircraft recognition skills.
- Try out the different jobs involved in the ARP unit, including practicing a mock air raid drill.
Following the sessions, led by historical characters, your students will then decide which organisation to join at the end of the day.
