People from front line countries such as Belgium, Denmark, and Poland who saw the atrocities of war first hand, and whom experienced the infamous blitzkrieg, still to this day do not know or even believe that Britain saw action on its own soil, and most believe the country, the south west, here in the furthest most southerly point of the country was a place city folk sent their children to be safe from the bombs and horrors of the blitz. Well nothing could be further from the truth. Regardless of popular belief at the time, Cornwall was on the front line from the very start.

My aunt married a Belgian fisherman in Penzance and moved to Oostende after the war. His name was Robert Delbol. His father Robert Richard Delbol was killed on 7 DEC 1940 either at Newlyn or between Oostende and Newlyn. His death is registered at Penzance but I have never found where he might be buried.

Interesting video. Can I ask a question or perhapes you could point me in the right direction. Researching St Ives Fishing register at Kresen Kernow I saw a entery dated in the harbor register "boat lost 21 Dec 1940 under Admiralty Service RNCS" Any clues to find out what it was doing??? Many thanks

Hello S Lloyd - Many thanks for your interest in the history of the local area. I have carried out a little research into your question but cannot find any information on RNCS nor a boat (Navy or Civilian) that went missing on this date or any dates two days either side of yours. Double check your information but you have to look at the assumptions. 1) If the boat was "lost at Sea" within the immediate area (Approx.10 Miles from the coast of St Ives) then the St Ives lifeboat would have gone out to salvage / rescue any survivors (this still happened during the war). 2) If there was survivors they would have been brought ashore and the local constabulary would have logged it in their logbook (PC Rowlands) If you are down St Ives I suggest dropping into the Life Boat House and asking them about their historical callouts (Sennen used to have boards up with all the call outs back to the war). If they are not sure then contact the RNLI Head Office in Poole (they have an archive & library). Also check out another document in Kresen Kernow (War diary, Cornwall County Constabulary - The Air Raid Incidents Diary CC/POL/68/4) Very good read and you might find police attended. As I said, double check your information and let me know how you get on.

Ooops I got it wrong! Boat name was "Family" It was recorded in the harbour masters log on Dec 21st 1945. Lost on admiralty service. No other details.

There might be some origin to Kernow there. You will have to trace your family tree and see what you find. "My Herritage" seems to be the best from my experience. 👍
