Eastbourne and the Wahine disaster: oral history project: John Malcolm and Valerie (Val) Malcolm. File 1

Details

TypeOral historyDescriptionJohn Douglas Malcolm and Valerie June Malcolm (nee Annabell) recall the day of the Wahine disaster. They had a young family and John was new to the community, a vicar at St. Alban's Church. John tells of his experience with the St Alban's youth group and frustration with the police stopping he and other community members from helping. His knowledge of the parish and the respect he carries give an interesting slant of a community dealing with disaster on their doorstep. John is forthright and humanitarian in his account of Eastbourne's experience.CreatorShelley DunfordDate created7 November 2011Dates covered10 April 1968Geotag^[1]St. Alban's Church, Eastbourne
