For our meeting on remembrance day. 11th November, we have first-hand accounts of soldiers of the British Expeditionary Force on the Run in World War Two. We meet in the Eghams Room at Bourne End Community Centre.
This talk by Timandra Slade follows events in the summer of 1940. Two members of her family were both captured separately by the Nazi Germans. Both managed to escape and make their way through France to Spain where they were again captured and held by the authorities. Whilst in captivity in Spain, Timandra’s father and his partner wrote an account of their escape, making it possibly the first such account to have been recorded for posterity.”
This is a talk run by the Buckinghamshire Family History Society in the Eghams Room at Bourne End Community Centre starting at 19:45 (doors open at 19:30).
Visitors are very welcome. Entrance is free for members or £2 for non-members (or why not take out an annual membership from as little as £6).
