Love and War On Sark 

We used to go to Sark on holiday every year for a couple of weeks from when I was born until I was 10 or 11. We always used to stop by nearly everyday to say hello and have a chat. I used to love going to the Jewellers and having a look at all the watches. They were a lovely couple. Funnily enough although I noticed Werner had an accent I was too young to know where it was from and it wasn’t until a lot later in life that I found out he was a German Officer and they had met during the occupation. Fascinating story. They’ll be sadly missed. It was also sad to see how. I have the island had changed since my childhood. Didn’t seem right going down the avenue and not seeing Rang Jewellers along the way.

It's always beautiful to hear about positive things that happened during and after the war. War must never happen, no common man wants it and war should never divide us all, love is the way. Thanks for sharing their story

Sark Would Seem A World Away From The Black Hills Of South Dakota ... But It's The Humanity Of This Lovely Story That Makes These Wonderful Folk Feel Like Neighbors 😊

I've known next to nothing about this occupation and I thank you for your time and effort on our behalf. Pat. America

Thank you for this. Quite a story from a rich history.

A great film about a lovely couple, who are greatly missed. Unfortunately, as Phyllis warned, the newcomers and bureaucrats from London succeeded in shafting the island and everything her and Werner stood and fought for by passing the 2008 constitutional reform, the consequences of which have been rather grim.

Fascinating story ! Also Rest in Peace

Wonderful

We count ourselves fortunate to have known Phyllis and Werner personally.

Using surrendered prisoners of war in mine clearing is against the Geneva Convention. Probably the British gave them a different designation, as Eisenhaeur did.

I had a troop officer Captain Boemont that came from this Sark to Berlin nice bloke but Berlin must of been a bit of a shock
