VE DAY CELEBRATION, VINCENNES ESTATE, WEST NORWOOD

VE Day celebration at the Vincennes Estate, Carnac Street, West Norwood. The plaque was erected in memory of the resistance heroes of Vincennes, France, including Violette Szabo, a Lambeth girl, and Lilian Rolfe, whose father lived in Knatchbull Road. Both were shot at Ravensbruck concentration camp shortly before the war ended. After being vandalised the memorial plaque was restored and re-dedicated during the VE Day celebration in May 1995.
