  • 1940-1941 /

Typescript copy of a diary kept by L. E. Latchford, 20 January 1940-23 February 1941, when he was employed at HM Customs and Excise, Swansea, as well as being an air-raid warden. It provides a day-by-day record of civilian life and reactions during the period of the 'phoney war', Dunkirk and the Battle of Britain and contains particularly vivid accounts of the bombing of Swansea. Also included are three letters from publishers and a reader's report, 1979-1980, concerning an attempt to publish the work (ff. i-iv). Extracts from the diary were serialized in the 'South Wales Evening Post', 2-17 September 1980.
