An unauthorised poster which had a certain calming effect on the population of Guernsey during the height of the evacuation crisis period.
June 1940 saw the evacuation of many civilians, note the gas masks being carried as part of the preparations for attack. The Guernsey population was about 42,000 in 1940, some 17,000 left before the German occupation. During the war they were re-housed throughout the United Kingdom.

Photographed on 9th April 1941 and described as Lager Beaucamps, this is the camp used by the Guernsey Militia for many years as a training area. The site is now home to the playing fields of Beaucamps School, though seen here on the northern side of the facility would have been used by the Germans as a similar facility but under 'new management’. This Photograph is from a small collection of six taken by an unknown German soldier posted to Guernsey in 1941 with 319 Infantry Division.
This photograph was taken on 18th June 1941. Looking north from alongside the slip way opposite Town Church, this view of the town front St Peter Port shows the absence of motor vehicles. With most locals restricted to horse drawn transport or bicycles, the only vehicle evident is marked with a WH indicating its use by the German Wehrmacht (Armed Forces).
