Worksheet: County Chief Constable: Mr Florey's Farm

Using Superintendent Ponsford's report, ask the students to retell the Florey case noting particularly:

  • What they think the old lady really saw in the sky?
  • Why they think the Canadian troops acted as they did?
  • Why they think the police acted as they did?
  • Who they think the German workers on Mr Florey’s farm may have been? (Probably Jewish refugees.)

Note: The first of four pages is shown alongside.
