A Family at War is a British television drama series that ran from 1970 to 1972. The show follows the lives of the Ashton family, a working-class family living in Liverpool during World War II. The family consists of father Wilfred, mother Sylvia, and their children, Mark, David, and Angus. The show explores how the war affects each member of the family in different ways.

Mark and David are both conscripted into the army and sent to fight in Europe. Mark becomes a sergeant and is involved in the D-Day landings and subsequent battles in France and Belgium. David, who is younger and less experienced, is killed in action. The family is devastated by his death, and Wilfred becomes increasingly bitter about the war and the loss of his son.

Meanwhile, Sylvia and Angus are left to cope with life on the home front. They are constantly under threat from German air raids, and must do their best to carry on with their daily lives despite the danger. Sylvia becomes involved in the war effort by volunteering at a local hospital, while Angus is sent away to stay with relatives in the countryside for safety.

Throughout the series, the Ashtons are shown as a close-knit family who do their best to support each other through the hardships of war. They deal with rationing, blackout regulations, and the constant fear of death, but ultimately come through the war with their spirits intact. The show was praised for its realistic portrayal of life during wartime, and remains a popular classic of British television.
