We will be having a small display of photographs, information, documents and of course our 80 Candles entry which will commemorate the Pioneer Corps in Ilfracombe during World War 2.
The Pioneer Corps was made up of of many Jewish refugees from Europe, including many highly trained and talented individuals particularly in the fields of music, the arts and entertainment. Many of these people used their spectacular talents to entertain both the Ilfracombe locals and other troupes stationed in the area, exposing them to high quality music, drama and dance performances and selflessly keeping up moral during difficult times.
