Do you remember when WWII was declared?

Jean: Well we got the papers in, and our mothers took us to the station, the were all crying but we were all laughing as we thought we have a good time by ourselves because your mother was strict in those days you dint get to do what you wanted you had to do what your mother told you.

So were you evacuated Jean?

Jean: No I was too old, some of the children that I knew were evacuated.
