You had to be there

From F J Le Moine.

I AM a survivor of the Occupation of Jersey and wish to add my views on the subject of celebrating Liberation Day.

It is impossible for me to describe the feelings of a lad of 17 on that amazing day of 9 May 1945.

All the descriptions and re-enactments will never be near the truth of the actual event.

Liberation Day is a memorial of the Occupation and of all those who suffered — and whether it is a public holiday or not is quite irrelevant.
