A busy day at the Lathalmond Wartime @defendfife event. I was running a ‘hunt the spy’ activity for kids, which proved very popular. Every child who took part went away with a free @CommandoComic

The "Polish Army in Dunfermline" fold out leaflets are here. Too bad we are still in lockdown. I'm keen to get these into venues for people to take one and follow the maps, see the photos, read the stories.
