The People's Friend - Issue 7953
As Remembrance Sunday approaches, there’s a reflective tone to this week’s issue. With the war in Ukraine still dominating the news headlines, it feels more important than ever to take a little time to think about the devastating impact conflict has had – and continues to have – on people across the globe.
Helen Welsh uncovers some of the incredible art created from the debris of World War I, Bill Gibb finds out how a stash of wartime letters in an attic shone new light on his parents’ romance for David Townsend, and we chat to the people hoping to bring nurse Kathleen Johnstone’s diary from World War II back into the spotlight.
Just a few years after the end of World War II, the novel “Whisky Galore” by Compton Mackenzie was published. It was later to be turned into a popular Ealing comedy, and David McVey looks at the real events that inspired this much-loved tale.
