How fantastic to find such a recent production shining a light on an important and unknown sacrifice made by locals. Thank you

My mother Rosemary Martin was involved in removing stock from the farms at Blackawton and her sister Nancy Martin worked with the WRVS helping the inhabitants to move from their homes .It was top secret and neither knew what the other was involved with
