A 51Mins Cornish Wartime Christmas 1941 No Longer Alone PART TWO - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GZqlZN9DEY
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 Two starts with a brief look at Christmas travel, post and presents before continuing the A-Z guide of festivities in town and village around Cornwall. A-M are in Part One N - Nanstallon/Newbridge/Newlyn/Newquay P - Pendeen/Penryn/Pentillie Castle/Penwithick/Penzance/ Perranwell/Perranporth/Polzeath/Pool/Ponsanooth/Port Isaac/Porthleven/Porkellis/Probus R - Redruth/Roche/Ruddlemoor S - St Agnes/St Anthony Head/St Austell/St Blazey/St Day/St Dennis/St Erme/St Erth/St Gennys/St Hilary/St Just/St Mawes/St Stephen in Brannel/Silverwell/Stenalees/Stithians/Stoke Climsland/Summercourt T - Torpoint/Tregoney/Tresillian/Trethurgy/Treverbyn/Treviscoe/ Trewidden/Truro/Tywardreath V - Veryan W - Whitemoor/Whitsand Bay/Widemouth Bay. The presentation concludes with a brief look at the Royal Family, Prime Minister Churchill in the USA & Canada, entertainment on the wireless, Christmas dinner and an unusual rendition of the Lambeth Walk. 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 have watched Part One, 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.
