- 7 - WW2 - A Cornish Story (Part 6)
For the final episode in their series, the Digital Interns at Bodmin Keep and the Museum of Cornish Life are speaking on the fighting men who were mobilised in Cornwall during the war, at first to defend against an invasion of Britain, and later to mount an invasion of Europe.
Joseph shares his detailed research on the Cornwall Home Guard - the veteran volunteers and underage cadets who would have defended us from an enemy invasion had it taken place.
Charlotte discusses aspects of her project research on the 29th Infantry Division of the U.S Army - the American G.I.s who came to Cornwall to prepare for the invasion of Normandy to liberate the continent of Europe from Nazi oppression.
