THE BIG DAY
Christine Collins, FACI (Middlesex)
1. | Little did the maker's mother realise when she and her husband-to-be
named the date for their wedding that it would become so historic: the day
Britain and Germany declared war - September 3rd, 1939. This is a personal
recollection by Babs of how it affected what is usually considered to be
a young couple's big day; imagine what it must have been like to have been
dressing for your wedding as Neville Chamberlain's now-famous speech was
broadcast on the wireless. IAC Gold Seal 1989 Donated by the maker |
