Description |
English: THE RELIEF OF GUERNSEY AND SARK These photographs, taken by a Ministry of Food photographer on 14 and 16 May 1945 show the people of Guernsey and Sark receiving their first British provisions since 1940. After D-Day all German supplied food for the islands ceased too and the Germans at once started to kill off live stock and eat the islander's seed potatoes. Vegetables became more and more scarce. In Guernsey a communal feeding centre was established to which everyone brought what they could, soup was made in bath-tubs and sold at 7 1/2d a quart. On liberation day the relief ship arrived loaded down with a cargo of food, transport and military equipment. The people of Guernsey cheered and laughed and cried. They had waited 5 years for this "And" said one woman "it was worth going hungry for!". Picture shows:- Mrs Hathaway, the "Dame of Sark". |

Licensing
[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. ![]() |
