German occupation in Guernsey from 1940 to 1945?

a child aged between 9 and 14 years had to play! Chapters include: 'Grandpa's
Pastimes', 'Law and Orders', 'Entertainment', 'Characters'

Reflections of Guernsey
After
completing 'A Child's
War' many readers wanted to know more about the Island and our lives.
This book includes more memories of Guernsey's
occupation and liberation, and also our freedom
through the years 1949 to 1993, now updated to 2007.
With these memories I have written
of more "happenings", statistics and also coincidences of the German Occupation
of Guernsey. Remembering again our never to be forgotten Liberation Time,
and afterwards our important Rehabilitation period of 1945-1946. Then
there was the
joyous and emotional homecomings of thousands of islanders after the five years of
separation. This is the Guernsey I like to remember; the characters of old, my family,
friends and guests who over the years have made the Island of Guernsey very special to
me. First published 1993.
