Dallington’s War 1939 to 1945
On Sunday 31st August 2025 all are welcome to attend an afternoon of personal memories, family anecdotes and historical details regarding how Dallington was affected by World War Two. The event will be held in the afternoon in St Giles Church – where on 3rd September 1939, villagers gathered to hear the radio broadcast announcement that Britain was now at war – and will be followed by a cream tea.
The reason for the early advertising is to give us plenty of time to gather as much information as possible. We would love to hear of any war-time stories covering such subjects as evacuees, school life, farming changes, the war in the skies, troops billeted in the parish, the Home Guard, rationing, local entertainment and any other wartime topic that will be of interest to the residents of Dallington.
If you think you might be able to help please give Roy Iremonger a call on 01323 832627 or email [email protected].
Do join us any time between 12 noon and 2pm. We shall be having a simple bread and homemade soup lunch with something for dessert. You won’t go hungry.
