SIR - My name is Johnnie Manckiy; I am a history student at university in the United States.
I am working on a research project on British country houses during World War Two. I am interested in learning about the experiences of people who lived, worked and were stationed in Britain's stately homes during the war.
Also, I am interested in learning how country houses adapted to the new roles as schools, hospitals and homes for evacuees, and military centers.
I am looking for anyone with memories of Brocket Hall during the war, or who was employed or lived on the Brocket estate during that time.

I am interested in any and all information during this period. Pictures would be appreciated.
