As we mark 80 years since the D-Day landings, the stories captured by the Survey of English Dialects serve as a powerful reminder of the human cost of war, and the value of recording lived experience through oral history. From the voices of those who fought and survived to the memories of life on the home front, these stories paint a vivid picture of a nation forever changed by the experience of war.
By preserving and sharing these voices, we ensure that the experiences of that remarkable generation are never forgotten.
