WORLD WAR 2
Penlee House and Gardens were purchased by the Penzance Borough Council at the end of the second world war in order to perpetuate the memory of those who had made the supreme sacrifice and as a tribute others from the Borough who had served in the armed forces and in the civil defense force. The Mayor Alderman Albert Thomas C.C. opened them to the public on the ninth of June 1946. A book of names is kept in the Garden of Remembrance and a page is turned each day.
Penlee house now houses a Museum and Art Gallery which has both a renown collection of paintings as well as a series of exhibitions throughout the year. The Gardens are open to the public and meals and snacks can be purchased in Penlee House.
Note: Only one page of the book of remembrance has been transcribed, H-J. THe other pages are still in need of transcription. The Book of Remembrance that is pictured was replaced in 2014 because it contained sparse information. A new book was formally presented to Penzance by the Town Council in August 2014 during the celebrations to mark the 400th year since the granting of the charter to the town and the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of the Great War. This book is now on display in the corridor outside Gallery 5 within Penlee Gallery. A copy is in the Memorial gardens Chapel. There are still a few names lacking information but the remainder now have additional information - Rank, Name, Initials, Decorations, Unit and Theatre of operation/death.
The biographical details for the Penzance area covering from the Second Boer War to the present day have been researched and all less about 15 have been identified and are held by Major Robert Harrison.
