In aid of the Poppy Appeal I was invited to display part of my collection of objects and photos of the Résistance in the South West of France at an exhibition of War Time Memorabilia held at Eye Town Hall in Suffolk.
Also taking part were dislays of make do and mend, 49Oth BG USAAF based at Eye in 1943 to 1944, arms and ammunition from the First World War, British Resistance Organisation - Churchill's "Secret Army", Land Girls and the role women played in the Second World War.
