A Dover man is trying to organise a visit to commemorate the wartime welcome shown 70 years ago.

Do you know anyone who was there?

Thanks Gwyn, will remember your offer. Brother lives in Capel, but has no interest beyond knowing he was legitimate. Long story, he gets muddled over the family history. It's grandad who was born out of wedlock!

A special service of thanks was held in Dover today.

It's obvious that many Welsh people did indeed...
' Keep a welcome in the hillside' for these people who were being so heavily bombed in this south east corner.
