Force 135: Living History Group at Hamptonne
Step back to May 1945, when Jersey was liberated after five years of German Occupation. This was the moment when Force 135 came to the island, tasked with the monumental job of returning Jersey to civilian life, demilitarising the island, and beginning the rebuilding process after years of wartime hardship.
