I was living in doctor Banardos homes at woodford bridge london. Because of nightly air raids we had to go into the cellers to avoid the bombing.One day while at school a german aircraft fired on the school.It was then decided we would be evacuated in groups to the countryside where they thought it would be safer. I was evacuated to Upton-on-Severn worcstershire with some other lads where we went to school where we were not very happy. We could not wait to get back to London.We went back after a few months when the V1 s and V2s were falling. We used to watch them come over. Towards the end of the war i was sent to parkhouse in Shifnal Shropshire.At parkhouse we watched the troop convoys going through to the south coast and the Kent coast for the D-day landings. On May the 8th 1945 was v.e. day and we had a big celebration and bonfire with an effigy of Hitler on top.
