The county has been remembering the war years, 1939-1945, with the help of Herefordshire Libraries.
It’s all part of our 80:80 project, marking VE Day and VJ Day by collecting 80 of your memories, photos, and stories to mark the 80th anniversary of the war’s end.
Amongst the many memories, Allan spoke of his Mum who became one of Hereford’s first wartime policewomen; June, whose baby brother was taken into care during the Blitz, but who never came home; and the miraculous survival of the Hereford hop farmer saved by the Dutch Resistance after his bomber was shot down.
All these and more will be published in the free 80:80 magazine, due to be published with IOA in September.
