|  | The WW2 People's War Website aims to preserve for future generations the personal and family stories of the people who lived and fought in World War Two. The Website enables you to write about World War Two, discuss the stories that you read, reunite with others and research the war generation. And as some people have found out, it's a good chance to really talk to your parents and grandparents! You can read some local stories here, and find out how you can get involved in the project. | Finding Sergeants Morgan and Mitchell |  | | | THE HUSBORNE BOMBER: During World War II, the residents of Husborne Crawley in Bedfordshire came to the rescue of a bomber crew that crashed in a nearby field.
