Full Stories of Service Gallery

For wider reference, this image gallery is an archive of a wider selection of images from the Stories of Service exhibition which uncovered selected stories of Tyneside women and African and Caribbean Tyneside residents who served in diverse roles in the Second World War.

Discovery Museum has been working with the Imperial War Museums (IWM) to deepen the knowledge of the lesser known stories of people in Tyneside from the Second World War, before they are lost forever.

The image gallery is made up of documentary photography of this exhibition which was installed at Discovery Museum, Newcastle, from 18 June 2022 – 26 February 2023.
