We spent an excellent morning at the Shetland Museum learning more about the strategic importance of Shetland during WWII and how it was affected by the war.<\/p>\n

We spent time looking at the WWII display case and learnt a lot of interesting information about the items within.<\/p>\n

We were also shown some WWII artefacts and the Shetland Roll of Honour where we found the names of those who died during the war.<\/p>\n

Having discussed shortages, the need for rationing and how people had to ‘make do and mend’, we were each given a wooden peg and scraps of material to make a toy figure to play with- just like children in WWII would have to do to make their own toys.<\/p>\n
