Bletchley - John Flewin - An Emigration Story : 5th February 2025
Probably the longest emigration voyage in history I have seen this story and it is fascinating not least because it shows how it is possible to use a variety of sources to tell a story about a family member. Not to be missed!” I am sure we are in for another interesting evening. (Slight change from the original talk)
