About MeThis is a Wartime Civilian Receiver, built under Government direction. During World War II the BBC's Regional Programmes were suspended. With relatives out of touch overseas, the Home Service became more important as a source of news for families. Listening to the Forces programme also gave people a way of feeling closer to relatives listening overseas.
