    My parents lived in Glasgow, as "the" industrial city in the empire they saw bombing almost every night. It fascinates me the easy manner in which they talk about it.

    "Who do you think you are kidding, Mr. Hitler
    If you think Old England's done..."

    A wonderful reminder of heroic and braver times.

    I think it is extremely valuable to share these kinds of photos and memorabilia for historians and ordinary people to see what it was like in that time and place. Hopefully others will follow your example.

    To think I was near St.Pauls at the weekend and then I see the photos on your lens. It really strikes home what WW2 must have been like. Hard to imagine. Five star lens.

    Wow - what a great lens and pictures are wonderful

    Those photos are such wonderful pieces of history and you've presented them beautifully.

    My mother was in the WRNS. Her brother, Alfie, was a bombardier with the Royal Air Force. He was killed when his plane went down during WWII.

    I'm favoriting this so I will be sure to get a notice if you update it.

    Thank you for sharing these wonderful photos. My mother still has her WWII ration book, and I have a few of my father's WWII era ephemera he saved. It is so meaningful to hold those in my hand and think about that time.

    This is an amazing lens. Incredible photos. It's a very personal view of history and is very well done.

    Good to see all those vintage photos of a trying time in history. Great lens.

    A fantastic lens. 5* I hate it when people treat war as though it were a video game instead of something incredibly distressing with real people involved.

    This is a really great lens, 5***** well deserved. I grew up in England and remember even in the 60's that there were places still in ruins from the Blitz. I have some of my family souvenirs too, but no photos of WWII. Got a lot of naval stuff from WWI from my grandfather. My Mum was an ARP warden and was on the rooftops in Rugby when the Germans fire-bombed nearby Coventry.

    This is a great lens, much better and more important than the great long lists of stuff to buy one usually ses on here! It's so important that this kind of thing is shared and remembered.

    Excellent lens and great photos. I can see St. Paul's Cathedral from my kitchen window and it's quite a different view now.

    This lens just gave me chills. Excellent job. Thank you so much for sharing these very special photos and memorabilia from a horrible time in our history.

    I can only imagine what you felt as you looked at these pictures for the first time. Thanks for giving us a chance to peek into the past and honor those brave soldiers who were called to duty.

    My Grandmother had ten children. Six out of those ten were in the service during WW2. I have a photo of my MIL standing by her bike in front of a building in Naples that was riddled with bullet holes. This is a fine lens.

    Great Lens. Let us never forget. Somethings in history need to be remembered. Thanks for sharing!!! 5*****

    Great history stories, thanks for sharing your original pieces. I love the sketch.

    Awesome lens that should be a lens of the day! The "Presumed Killed In Action" touches my heart -- how sad of a loss.

    great lens! what a shame the result of wars...when will we learn...thanks for sharing your intersting items and photos...5*

    My parents assured me that there would never be a war like WWII again but that's not the way it feels to people living in War Zones. War is never the solution to any problem. I hope that you are right that publishing these photos of war torn London will convince others that war is wrong no matter where it is.

    Yes,I have so often heard my Mother's tales of what it was like in the air-raid shelter as the bombs were falling, trying to hit Glasgow's Clyde shipyards.

    Very poignant lens.
