That publication that raised more than £1,500 for the Poppy Appeal and Conwy Citizens Advice Bureau. Both these charities will again benefit from this new book one as all monies will be donated to them.

He said: “I wrote a book in 2017 about the borough of Conwy in World War One and that raised more than £1,500 for the poppy appeal and Conwy Citizens Advice Bureau. Both these charities will again benefit from this new book one as all monies will be donated to them.”

He added: “This year marks the 75th anniversary of D Day and the 80th of the outbreak of World War Two, so it seems a fitting time to write about Conwy borough during that period.”

The 39 page volume covers all aspects of life in Conwy during World War Two, giving an insight into the impact the conflict had upon individuals’ lives, and covers topics such as the presence of evacuees, how air raid wardens behaved, what happened to local industries, particularly fishing, the commitment of many to the Home Guard, the presence of HM Forces and prisoners of war, and remembering the fallen.

The book is available from the Guildhall, Conwy, and the Home Front Museum, New Street, Llandudno, costing £5.00.
