With the arrival of the Free French flotilla on Monday in Newlyn, after which the boats will move to Penzance Dock, comes an exhibition at the Admiral Benbow pub in Chapel Street, Penzance. The exhibition tells the story of escapes from occupied France during the Second World War when members of the Free French Army as De Gaulle called them made their way to Newlyn and Penzance. Some of their relatives will be around to add first hand experience to the stories.
