The artifacts showcased below represent the links between the home front and the war front. They were used or created on the home front, however, they have a strong connection to the war in various ways. These pieces depict the impacts of the war directly at home and how it was a part of daily life for the majority of people. From remembering those who died and celebrating the small victories that occurred, people were always connected and thinking about the war. This highlights the stories of those who participated in the war and how that impacted those at home.
