War broke out on Sunday when Chamberlain announced it. All sirens went off at 11.30am.
I had a baby of 2 at the time and was 7 months pregnant with the second. I found out over the radio that I was to be evacuated. I was evacuated to Mansfield to have the baby with more mothers who were expecting. I stayed 6 weeks with ladies that lived in the area. I moved on Monday, my husband gave the house up on the Saturday and put the furniture at my mother鈥檚. 6 weeks after the birth, whilst in hospital I got a letter to say my husband was having an affair. I registered the baby and a lady put me, the baby and my case on a bus back to Sheffield. I asked my husband and he admitted the affair. It was true. We went on to have 60 years of marriage.
