    • Lillie's Diary. By Lillie Gosselin (née Sackett).
      Wartime diary, German Occupation of Guernsey, 1940–1945.
      Lillie's Diary took the form of a letter to her older sister Lavinia, then living in England. Lillie would have known that her "letter", started at the beginning of the Occupation, could not be sent or received until after the war was over. But, of course, she had no idea then that the Occupation was to last five long, dreary, hungry, sometimes frightening, years.
      The Occupation began on 30 June 1940 after air raids in which 23 Islanders were killed and 36 wounded. It ended on 9 May 1945, the day after Victory in Europe Day.
