I spoke to over 50 people and was so fascinated by what I heard that a book was born. This book. Enjoy.

    I felt scared and shivered in my bed that night.

    I soon realised that despite the sadness of the children being away from their families it was an amazingly happy place.

    I decided, sometime ago, to take a section of all the true stories that contributors shared with me.

    An excellent volunteer with a good social conscious. Thank you for Jo

    Comments from Audrey. I recall John with fondness. He chaired Wellingborough Welfare Rights.

    He worked diligently for many years not only for Welfare Rights but, also for Guide Dogs Associated. Audrey Ellis.

    Geoff Stanfield 1933

    About a day later there was a knock at the door and mum answered it. There was dad in FSMO (Full Service Marching Order), in other words full kit bag, small pack, respirator, ammunition pouches, tin hat, rifle, bayonet and water bottle. I could hardly see him. My first words were *+"Can I look at your rifle please?" so he showed me how to maintain it.

    I left school at the age of fourteen. I had passed the exam to go to Grammar school.

    I couldn't go to Grammar School as dad couldn't afford the uniform. I joined the RAF at the age of eighteen. A friend asked me what I was doing during The Battle 0f Britain weekend.

    I am trying to give a better understanding regarding what life has been like over the last hundred years. All these stories are precious records regarding how our lives have changed. Please let me know what you think. Audrey-Ellis

    I remember October 12th 1942,the biggest day of the Blitz.

    We had spent the night in a shelter. The following morning we returned home. As mum was walking she kept repeating "I wonder if our house will still be there!" We discovered that five houses down from our house was a Parachute stuck on a chimney. I think that this was enough for mum. As attached to the Parachute was a bomb. This was enough for my parents as they packed our cases and walked away from our home.

    I was stationed at Chatham. We were going to be inspected by King George so we had a few days off.

    I was in the NAAFI Club. Some sailors had arrived from a Royal Navy ship. They had been sailing the Mediterranean. A young man asked me to dance and then he. asked me to go for a drink. Not long afterwards he asked me to marry him.
