As the author of "Bures: Life in the Village during WW2," I offer an in-depth exploration of the Bures community's experiences from 1939 to 1945. This work delves into both the civilian efforts on the Home Front and the Civil Defence operations that were critical during this era, showcasing how Bures' inhabitants navigated the trials brought about by World War II. It further touches upon militaria, shedding light on the era's military artifacts.

The publication is an asset for anyone with a keen interest in World War II history, particularly for those yearning to understand small village life beneath the overarching war narrative. With its compelling visual depictions and educational narrative, the book stands as an essential resource for avid historians.

The core material presented in this book stems from Hugh Creek, the WW2 Primary School Headmaster of Bures, who was actively involved with numerous local organizations. His meticulous collection of receipts, reports, invoices, and financial records from that time period, which I had the privilege of examining in the 1990s, forms the foundation of this historical account. These documents are now preserved within the Suffolk County Council archives for posterity.
