What a shame that this was such a short clip, and cut even shorter in YT. What a voice that kiddie had!

Great to see the shipping 🚢 on the Foyle. My father Jack Gillespie his father George and brother Walter we're all Foyle Pilots during the war years.

Lovely film, what a piece of history, it’s weird that ww2 was going on, but Derry seemed more peaceful, obviously contrasting with later years
