🚩Evacuation of Alderney arrival to UK. This image captures a heartbreaking moment: children being sent away, many separated and “billeted” with strangers for safety. Were scattered, lives put on hold, and childhoods reshaped by war. Medal for Alderney Campaign 🎖️ Significant.

⚡The evacuation of Alderney is a significant chapter in British history and deserves formal recognition, such as a medal. Islanders were given only hours’ notice to leave, spent five years away from their homes, & then returned to restart their community & rebuild- ground up🎖️

One of the greatest British stories ever seems somewhat forgotten. The exodus of Channel Islands people from the advancing Nazi forces, followed by heroic stoicism reminds us of the people we used to be. Wake up Westminster and celebrate your people. And remember those who never returned and died away far from home.

🇬🇧British RETURN When the people of Alderney returned home after the devastation of the World War 2 they weren’t greeted by the island they once knew. Their homes were shattered. Their land was scarred. Their memories haunted by the forced evacuation & years of occupation🎖️
