The War Comes to Witham Street

Lincoln, England, August 1944. A rest and recuperate scheme for two traumatised servicemen, one British and one American, places them with two families. The effect they have on those families is remarkable and profound.

Jane, like most of the other children, is without her father, and relies on grandparents and other relations to fill the gap. It is through Jane, growing up at a difficult time, that we can laugh at attempts to keep morale high, and sympathise with the hopes, dreams, disappointments, and tragedies of those left behind to cope with war in their own way.
