Guernsey Walking Tours: Keith's own family story during the German Occupation
Join Keith Pengelley, a Silver Accredited Guide on his immersive two hour walking tour tracing the story of his grandfather William Henry Pengelley, and the trials his family faced during the German occupation of Guernsey. With stories of battlefield heroics, lost communication, identity cards and silent suffering, visitors will explore the powerful intersection of personal lives and war conflict, all framed by quiet Guernsey lanes and guided narrative.
