Do you remember collecting shrapnel and listening to Children's
Hour? Carrying gas masks or sharing your school with evacuees from
the city? The 1940s was a decade of great challenge for everyone
who lived through it. The hardships and fear created by a world war
were immense. Britain's towns and cities were being bombed on an
almost nightly basis, and many children faced the trauma of being
parted from their parents and sent away to the country to live with
complete strangers. For just over half of this decade the war
continued, meaning food and clothing shortages became a way of
life. But through it all, and afterwards, the simplicity of kids
shone. From collecting bits of shot-down German aircraft to playing
in bomb-strewn streets, kids made their own fun. Then there was the
joy of the second half of the 1940s, when fathers came home and the
magic of 'normal life' returned. This trip down memory lane will
take you through the most memorable and evocative experiences of
growing up in the 1940s.
