Forgotten Voices of the Second World War consists of interviews with soldiers, sailors, airmen and civilians of most nationalities who saw action during World War II. The interviews were drawn from the Imperial War Museum's sound archive. Many of the recordings had not been heard since the 1970s. As well as putting the interviews into chronological and campaign order, Arthur also puts the surrounding events into context.
