Event Description

Join us for an exciting talk from the St. Helier Charitable Foundation, as they discuss their latest World War II project.

''Fight for Freedom- Carshalton and Wallington's War'' will capture the World War 2 memories, photographs and stories of the residents of Carshalton and Wallington. Concentrating mainly at the period 1938-1946, the project will shed new perspectives on the period, with materials being deposited in Sutton Council's archives.

The project looks at:

 The Home Front, including defence measures, plotting bomb strikes, the role
of women on the Home Front and individual stories.

 The role of Croydon Airport and its impact on life during this period, on jobs,
bombing and military involvement.

 The Military experiences of local people. Including prisoners of war, the retreat
to Dunkirk and at other notable battles or theatres of war.
