LIFE & LOSS ON A BOMBER COMMAND STATION DURING THE 2ND WORLD WAR
A talk by Canon Eleanor Rance

As the war in Europe drew to a close on 8th May 1945, RAF Bomber Command's role became one of recovery of personnel from POW camps and delivery of aid to starving Europeans. During the preceding years, however, it was the personnel of Bomber Command who took the fight to the enemy, a fight which involved enormous cost to both sides, and a weight of grief which has been spoken of very little in the 80 years since.
Life and Loss on a Bomber Command Station aims to consider what life was really like, and how great a debt of gratitude we owe to this generation who so willingly entered the fray on our behalf.
