Event Short Description

The brave Norwegian sailors, who kept links open between occupied Norway and Britain, during the WW2

Event Information

This is the story of the brave Norwegian sailors, organised by the SOE, in their fishing boats who kept links open between occupied Norway and Britain during WW2, taking agents in with supplies for the resistance and escaping refugees out. Not only did they have to face sub-Artic storms in the North Sea but also the might of the Nazi war machine out searching for them.
A moving account of what affectionately became know as ‘The Shetland Bus’; helping Norway to bring back its peace and its pride.

Gillian has been inspired to research this talk to honour the brave men and women SOE agents who served their country in World War 2. She has been fascinated by the subject for many years. She will capture your interest from the start, and over the course of the talk, will move you both to laughter and to tears.
The talk is in aid of The Land, Sea & Islands Centre, Arisaig, Scotland.
