Description: THE WAR ILLUSTRATED Read about World War II as it happened and as it was portrayed to the British public. This newspaper was published every two weeks from the start of hostilities in 1939 through the war and until 1947. As its title suggests this publication contains a wealth of archive material including dozens of photographs from the various news agencies in each issue. It does therefore include photographic material covering every theatre of conflict and taken from both the allies and axis lines, although, as one would expect, the text and the accounts of action do have a definite bias towards the allied forces. Please note: These newspapers are 100% original (not copies or reprints) and as such, due to their age, may contain slight yellowing of the pages, staple rust marks, missing or loose staples and other marks or signs of their age. This does however add to their authenticity and every copy is perfectly readable and every issue will posted in appropriate packaging to afford maximum protection. All issues are generally in stock and bespoke lots can be assembled to your requirements as a special Ebay “Buy it Now” purchase with a significant discount for multiple issues.
