Book signing: The German occupation of Jersey – Agriculture and survival in a time of war
A former teacher and head of history at Victoria College will be signing his book: “The German occupation of Jersey: Agriculture and survival in a time of war” on 11 May at de Gruchy.
Author Andrew Gilson (pictured) grew up in Jersey and subsequently taught on the Island for 38 years.
The book is a result of seven years researching from Germany, Austria, UK, France, Guernsey and Jersey. 5000 documents from 300 files were researched. Including new files discovered by the author from the RJAS and JFU.
The book print run has been sold out by the publisher, but books will be available at the signing between 12 and 2 PM. De Gruchy will be making a donation to their mental health charity they are supporting.
