A Cornish Wartime Christmas 1941 No Longer Alone PART ONE - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBRclEOw1OA
A two-part look at what Christmas was like in 1941 - the third wartime Christmas of the Second World War and one when the people of Britain were no longer alone. Using archive photos, old newspaper clippings, newsreel footage, old Christmas cards and postcards, old songs and sound recordings this video-book style presentation gives a snapshot of the festivities in Cornwall. Part One starts with a brief look at what the year had held with the Plymouth Blitz, the invasion of the Soviet Union, Rommel in North Africa and Pearl Harbour. It then embarks on an A-Z tour of the county featuring the festivities in town and village. It visits: A - Advent B - Blisland/Bodmin/Bugle/Beacon/Blackwater C - Callington/Camborne/Carn Brea/Carharrack/Carlyon Bay/Carthew/Cawsands/Chacewater/Charlestown/Constantine D - Devoran/Devonport F - Falmouth/Feock/Flushing/Foxhole G - Grampound/Grampound Road H - Hayle/Helston/High Street I - Illogan Highway/North Illogan/South Illogan K - Kelynack L - Land's End/Lanivet/Liskeard/Looe/Lostwithiel/ Ludgvan/Luxulyan M - Mawgan/Mawnan/Mevagissey/Morval/Mount Charles/Mount Hawke/Mullion. N-Z continues in Part Two. Today we take so much for granted. This video is made to honour the generation who sacrificed so much so we could live in freedom and celebrate Christmas in peace. If you have any photos of a Cornish wartime Christmas, or have a story to tell, please leave a comment. Make sure you continue with Part Two, and if you have not yet seen A Cornish Wartime Christmas 1939 and 1940 they are worth checking out. Thanks for reading, and thanks for watching.
