Alison asked...... > need to know what host families thought of the evcuees in britain. That's a difficult one Alison -- many of them will be about 100 years old by now -- maybe just a few on this list who had evacuees billeted with them when they were children. I find it difficult enough to remember how I felt when I was evacuated. I can't remember being unhappy -- I just took it all as it happened. It's interesting to look at the pictures if you click on http://www.sol.co.uk/s/stThomas/evacuees_photos.htm and you'll notice that only one child is crying, in fact most of them are looking quite cheerful. I think the families we were given to probably felt the same -- we all just "got on with it". ================ Tom Holloway tom.holloway@u3a.org.uk tom@holloways.org <=== private email http://timewitnesses.org 01926-771772 To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to: timewitnesses-unsubscribe@egroups.com Your use of Yahoo!
