Copy of leaflet given out on the quayside.
Along with my comrades in the Cheshire Regiment I was waiting to board the last boat to leave Jersey harbour - it was called the SS Shepperton Ferry and the incident took place in June 1940. Occasionally German fighter planes wouls skim over the dock and spray the harbour wall with machine gun fire. The dozen or so soldiers of which I was a member crouched low against the harbour wall attempting to make themselves as small a target as possible.
Suddenly along the quayside walked a figure bearing a billboard saying ' Jersey Four Square Gospelers. As he walked along the quay oblivious of the danger from machine gunfire he handed out leaflets. I accepted mine appropriately. Hell and Damnation is Amongst You. Prepare to Meet Your God.
