Commemorating the 80th anniversary of VE Day
This year marks the 80th anniversary of VE Day and we created a special display about what life was like in Great and Little Plumstead during WW2. The documents detail the memories and experiences of children in the village, from air raids to rationing, and asking American Airmen for gum! We researched the sad losses in the villages, including in the bombing at Plumstead Green, and details on a V2 rocket attack. We also found out more about the stories and circumstances of those commemorated on the war memorials and commonwealth war graves in both our churches, and the plane crashes that happened here.
With thanks to Rosemary Turner and Little Plumstead Memories for helping create the display.
