The Nazi Channel Islands

"Hostilities will end officially at one minute after midnight tonight, but in the interests of saving lives the 'Cease fire' began yesterday to be sounded all along the front, and our dear Channel Islands are also to be freed today."

- Winston Churchill

"Thank you for your postcard. I very nearly went to Jersey myself, as I have never been there, and hear from so many people that it is quite delightful.

If you are free tomorrow evening between six and seven, do come round for a drink and a chat.

Ever sincerely, Boothby."

Private note sent by Lord Boothby to Ronnie Kray,

June 6, 1963
