Société Jersiaise - Liberation 80 Lunchtime Talks 2025
Société Jersiaise 7 Pier Road JE2 4XW Saint Helier
Details
The overwhelming joy of Liberation and the excitement of homecoming was tempered by rationing and austerity.
It was a time of hard work and making do, often as if living in a past age. Despite all difficulties, it was a time of carefree happiness, a time to rebuild lives and for the Island to recover.
