Midhurst Memoirs Vol 1
A Place Close to my Heart
Peter Sydenham
By British town standards, Midhurst in West Sussex was always a sleepy place, becoming that way due to its enviable geographical position in award winning rural countryside. World War 2 filled it with troops and evacuees.
In readiness for the war time memoirs to come, this first book of a series on Midhurst during World War 2, tells of interesting happenings as it delves into the back stories of the area’s history. Extensive research and scholarly professionalism by Peter Sydenham integrates a surprising amount of all but lost material, showing its place in helping win that wat and how ‘it is a place to be’.
