‘Evacuees – Stories of the Children’

‘I was put on a double-decker bus and was whisked off to Ivinghoe Aston, Buckinghamshire, in the middle of England.’
‘My parents must have been distraught at sending their son away to total strangers in a place they knew nothing of, for who knows how long, but they kept up appearances for our sake and assured us that ‘you will be going somewhere safe where someone will look after you and we will come and visit you whenever we can’.
We were herded on to a steam train, waved our parents a cheery good-bye, they with tears streaming down their faces, and off we went on this marvellous adventure!
‘I’ll have him’, and ‘that two there will do’, ‘that little girl with the curly hair’. The voices sounded strange, difficult to understand but they were obviously speaking English.
