#OTD in 1945, the island of Guernsey was liberated after being occupied by German forces for almost five years. William and Florence Hill had sent their two oldest sons away from the island as war approached – and once the occupation began, short messages passed through the Red Cross were the only way to hear any news of their boys. Watch our curator Simon Offord tell their story through a collection of letters recently donated to IWM. http://ow.ly/3ktq30jUKRH | Imperial War Museum London

Guernsey's Lieutenant Governor has smashed a rum bottle on the Vivier Bunker to inaugurate a Liberation mural. 🎨🖌️ General Richard Cripwell congratulated artist Teddy Baden, who was commissioned by Art for Guernsey to create the piece. The rum bottle was chosen as the Liberation treaty was signed by German soldiers on a rum barrel in 1945, and the building is now a distillery. 🍾 | Island FM

On 9 May 1945, Islanders woke to the news they had longed for. German forces had surrendered at sunrise, and the five-year-long Occupation of the Islands was over. As news spread across the Island, jubilant crowds of Islanders flocked to the St Peter Port seafront to greet British forces. Today, we reflect on the sacrifices previous generations were forced to make, and celebrate our freedom - and the freedom of our Sarnia Cherie. www.liberationday.gg | States of Guernsey
