More material can be found on the Devoran WW2 war memorial sections; I also have added newspaper cuttings from my talk on Devoran in WW2 / 1940s, a 2022 fundraising talk for the Village Hall to add to this blog at some time in future.

American GIs (both Black and White) were stationed in several areas including Tregye, Trelissick, Tullimaar, Perranarworthal, Killiganoon, prior to D-Day June 1944. They sometimes joined in with Devoran Village Hall dances (Jitterbugging!)
