It was a fine and sunny May day, but with a strong
and cold wind, when we returned the the Lunt Community
Association's premises, to remember VE day and the end of the
war in Europe. |
 |
There was a lot to set up in the large hall.
Here Sandra Aston discusses the finer points of display with
Kath Kiely, who was all got up in patriotic red, white and blue
for the occasion. |

Sandra had a display of photographs of war time
weddings, most of them local people getting married in local
churches. Amongst other things you could see how war time brides
coped with the problems which clothes rationing gave them. |
 |
Sandra's collection of war time, embroidered
handkerchiefs were a decorative and touching reminder of love
affairs all that time ago, in what now seems almost like another
world. |

Reg Aston provided an enormous display of hundred of
photos of the area during the Second World War, the Home Guard,
the stars of stage and screen who were seen here during the war;
and a great montage of war time posters.
And, of course, a vast area of artefacts from the time. |

" lightening objects, reminders of the horrors of war. |
