“We were all at the St Brioc School to help the children get ready for the buses to take them down to the ships.”
Note:
There appears never to have been a St Brioc school in Guernsey. However, it is a hidden chapel ruin in the south west of the island, on a hill covered in gorse and ferns.
Interestingly St Sampson was also Welsh, our second town is named after that Saint. It would appear that Guernsey had a strong connection with the Welsh Saints.

It is thought that Grange Lodge Hotel was built as a private house, in about 1815, using the profits made from privateering.
It stayed in the same hands until purchased by the Mansell family in the 1930s. From this time it was run as a hotel apart from a five year break during the German Occupation (1940-45). During that period the hotel was used as the headquarters for the German Feld Kommandant.

“Guernsey is very beautiful in all its variety - fields, woods, hedgerows, dells, manors, dolmens, wild cliffs, witches corners, Tudor Houses and Norman stone cottages.”
Note
Dehus Dolmen is a European megalithic marvel. Open to the public with lights and an interpretation board. Well worth a visit as it is one of the best preserved burial chambers in Europe.

"Hitler was fanatical about fortifying these islands ... He ordered large gun emplacements, anti-tank walls on the beaches, hundreds of bunkers and batteries, arms and bomb depots, miles and miles of underground tunnels, a huge underground hospital, and a railway across the island to
carry materials ...”

“Oh, there were hundreds of German soldiers -and they were SHOPPING! Arm in arm they went strolling along Fountain Street"
