Description:	The Channel Island of Guernsey has always been, for me, a second home—the land of my ancestors, my mother’s family and my childhood. I used to spend school holidays in Guernsey, staying with my grandparents and playing on the beaches with my cousins. Although the remnants of the Occupation in the form of concrete bunkers were seemingly everywhere—we children used them as impromptu toilets or changing rooms at the beach—I just accepted their presence. I knew from childhood that the Channel Islands were the only part of the British Isles to be occupied during the Second World War. I knew that certain places in Guernsey were still haunted by ghosts of German soldiers, because I had heard the stories.
