Although only children at the time, the Second World War had a
permanent effect on the schoolboys who lived through the conflict.
Watching a country preparing for war and then being immersed in the
horrors of the Blitz brought encounters and events that some will
never forget. Now in their seventies and eighties, many are
revisiting their memories of this period of upheaval and strife for
the first time. In this poignant book, the author shares vivid
memories of his evacuation from war-torn London to the comparative
safety of places like Newquay, St Ives and Redruth in Cornwall.
From touching recollections of enjoyable days spent with loved ones
to the dark moments of falling bombs, this is an honest account of
a wartime child's formative years. Together with rare images and
accounts from fellow evacuees who were sent to Cornwall to escape
the ravages of war, this book reveals how these experiences are
indelibly inscribed on the minds of wartime children.
