|Between the wars the number of people serving in the armed forces fell. Why? Discuss how people join the | |important jobs were carried out by women. Many worked in factories to supply the war effort, everything |

|armed forces today, volunteers for regular or reserve forces. As WWII started volunteers were requested | |from pots and pans to parachutes. World War II made more use of equipment than any other war in history, |

|and many did. Share the real life account of a soldier volunteering to join the Army: | |so factories at home had to keep up production. WWII was known as the “Total War” as everyone was |

| Discuss the issues raised. Would they | |involved. One famous factory was the Aycliffe Royal Ordnance Factory where bullets were made, 17,000 |
