VE Day 75th Anniversary

Yesterday, 8th May, was the 75th Anniversary of VE Day. Whilst the Roseland wasn’t the most affected area of the country, or even the county during WW2, plenty went on here.

We weren’t able to do any interviews with anyone who was actually there at the time, so instead, I’m chatting with the next best thing - 2 gentleman who’ve been collecting the stories of what did happen from those who were there.

First up we’ve got Peter Teague from St Just sharing tales of bombings, and VE Day itself. We started by talking about the home guard.

INTERVIEW

Stories there that I expect many of you didn’t know a thing about!

If we go a little bit further back we come to an event which I think everyone must know the Roseland was involved in, and which was crucial on the path to VE Day - D Day.

And there was only one person we could speak to about that - Pete Newman formerly of Tolverne.

INTERVIEW

We’ll finish off our VE Day episode with this poem specially written for the anniversary by Alan Durham from Tregony (our guest in episode 2 if he sounds familiar!)

POEM

Be kind and stay safe.

This was a covid project - it's no longer running, but people are still listening, so we're leaving it up for you
