Monday 8th January 2024

 

 



Klaus Lamie presented  the story of Harold Cowen during the second world war.  Harold had been in Chezelles, France as a novitiate when the war began and, being refused permission to return home, he became an internee - a captivity that would last four years.  Some of his original letters to the family as well as the family’s correspondence with the Red Cross,  enlightened society members to the conditions people experiences during this time of war.
