Its very first front page of the Second World War is reprinted by the Kent Messenger today.

The cover from September 9, 1939, provides a fascinating insight into how the people of Kent reacted to the outbreak of war.

There's a plea to firms to keep businesses going plus a rallying cry to workers to carry on 'doing their job'.

Readers were given details of the arrival of Kent's first war baby in addition to reports on how the first evacuee were coping with the upheaval of leaving their families.

There is a distinctively positive theme to the coverage, clearly designed to try to lift morale in the worrying days after the declaration of war.

The reprint is accompanied by reports on how the community coped in the immediate aftermath of Neville Chamberlain's historic announcement that: "I have to tell you now that no such undertaking has been received, and that consequently this country is at war with Germany."

This souvenir is a great keepsake - make sure you get your copy with your KM today.
