I should add it is a fantastic library and they also hold a lot of unpublished documents and photographs. A fantastic resource.
Visit to the @PriaulxLibrary today for a couple of hours mean't I found the missing piece for one on my escape stories for my book. It joins two separate events that now make sense! Also found some useful info for the @IslandsAtWar podcast.

The Royal Navy's last defeat of the war: (1/10) On this day in history, in 1943, HMS Charybdis (88) and HMS Limbourne (L57) were sunk during the Battle of Sept-Îles. What happened on that fateful night of 22-23 October, which claimed the lives of around 500 British sailors? 🧵

ALT Sepia toned front page of The Vote, with the paper's masthead and contents taking up the top quarter of the page. Beneath that is the headline 'A Woman M.P. of the Channel Islands,' with the subheading 'Interview with Miss Marie Randall.' Beneath that are two columns of text, interspersed with a photograph of Marie Randall.
