Inver can claim to having the oldest evacuee in Great Britain. Mrs Skinner, who was born in the village in 1851 and had spent her 92 years there, was moved with her daughter to a neighbouring village. Proud of her grandson, Hector, who gained a Distinguished Service Medal as a gunner in a Russian convoy, Granny Skinner, as she was known, said she was willing to help the fighting men in any way she could.
