These existing pages offer a wider view of military history, alongside the village stories in 2A and the connected regional sites in 2B. The entries identify what each page contains, so that a short introduction, a book reference and a substantial historical account can be read on their own terms.
The English Civil Wars
1642 to 1651 English Civil War
A short introduction to the conflict, with a map and links to wider accounts. The page also identifies local-history reading available within the Members collection.
Winston Churchill’s Toyshop
Winston Churchill’s Toyshop at The Firs
The existing page introduces Robert Stuart Macrae’s book and presents a collection of images relating to The Firs at Whitchurch. It provides a route into this wartime weapons-development subject; it does not establish that a particular Great Brickhill resident worked there.
Secret communications and wartime broadcasting
Bletchley Park’s Secret Sisters
John A. Taylor’s book provides further reading on intelligence organisations, secret transmitters and wartime propaganda. GBHP’s existing reference lists the subjects covered. For the developed accounts of Whaddon Hall and RAF Stoke Hammond, return to Connected Regional Heritage.
