Local historian Margaret Thomas recounts through stories, photos and documents, the experiences of the residents of Carshalton and Wallington as they fought for freedom during the Second World War. Among many other others, we hear about two brothers who were both captured at the retreat to Dunkirk and met in a POW camp, the medic who was at the liberation of Bergen Belsen who fell in love and married a young woman who had been imprisoned there for several years, and the fireman who risked his life to free an elderly couple from the rubble of their house in Carshalton.
