In December 2003 I created a short photo-story set in WW2 Britain. Rather than hosting it on my personal website, it was given a home by Richard at
Garden Wargaming since the theme of the story made it a nice fit for his site.
I referred to it simply as “Christmas on the Home Front,” but Richard had the great idea to add period music in the background for atmosphere, and so the story then became known as “I”ll be Home for Christmas,” after the song with the same title.
The following year (after a great deal of coaxing from Richard) I added one further chapter to the story. I wish I could have kept this tradition going by expanding the story each year, but unfortunately time did not allow.
Many of you will already be familiar with the story since Richard promoted it on various platforms, especially here, with great gusto every Christmas for over 10 years.
For the sake of completeness, and because I am rather fond of my creation, I decided I would add the story (without soundtrack) at Just For Kl!cks on the 15th anniversary of its first viewing. I can scarcely believe it is that long ago!
