From the Lost and Found Department

Guernsey Evacuees


Book Description

In June 1940, 17,000 people fled Guernsey to England, including 5,000 school children with their teachers and 500 mothers as 'helpers'. The Channel Islands were occupied on 30 June - the only part of British territory that was occupied by Nazi forces during the Second World War. Most evacuees were transported to smoky industrial towns in Northern England - an environment so very different to their rural island. For five years they made new lives in towns where the local accent was often confusing, but for most, the generosity shown to them was astounding. They received assistance from Canada and the USA - one Guernsey school was 'sponsored' by wealthy Americans such as Eleanor Roosevelt and Hollywood stars. From May 1945, the evacuees began to return home, although many decided to remain in England. Wartime bonds were forged between Guernsey and Northern England that were so strong, they still exist today.




The Forces which Shaped Them

Mother Earth And Me... Are All We Need To Be Saved


Book Description

This Book is exactly what you need to be told, to be reminded of and to be taught about Mother Earth, and all that she represents to You and I. And since she has been around for a time that we could never imagine when it started, then it is best for us to come to her sides, and allow her to hold our hands in providing for us, in caring for us, in helping us, in healing us, and in protecting us for life. Because Mother Earth is not here to hurt us, she is not here to dismember us like we are doing to her every hour of every day. But Mother Earth is here to bless us along with all the other Beings who inhabit her on her skin and even inside her belly. And so You and I are The Pioneers who are willing to take the very first steps in returning home to Mother Earth, and begin to accept our duties. You and I can join together as the true loyal children of The Great Mother, for us to fulfill our duty that a Son and Daughter have toward A Parent in protecting and loving. https://www.JamesDazouloute.Net/ - For More...
