Clyde Lee Brock Jr. kept a diary during World War II. As a Navy yard coppersmith in Portsmouth, he recorded his daily reflections on war, faith family and small town life through 1945.
Clyde Lee Brock, Jr.: The Home Front Wartime Diary of a World War II Shipbuilder,
edited and published by his granddaughter Lee Flores, provides insights into Isle of Wight County’s Longview area as well as Chuckatuck and Windsor.
Join us for a discussion of wartime shipbuilding and community connections. The published diary is available for sale in the museum’s gift shop for $17.95.
