This project provides material from the written anthology "Thistle at War" which provides an account of the Scottish experience of war, in the services and at home. Soldiers, sailors and airmen, nurses, wives and children give their own accounts of what they saw and what they felt. All aspects of war and its aftermath are gathered together in letters, diaries, poetry and memoirs, illustrated from the archives of the Scottish United Services Museum.
