This story was submitted to the Peoples War website by Charles a pupil from St.Albans Catholic High School in Ipswich on behalf of his Grandmother Mary Collins and has been added to the site with her permission.
Mary Collins fully understands the sites terms and conditions.
At the beginning of the war I was a little girl aged 7 years attending a local primary school about 5 miles outside Chester in the village of Waverton. Soon after the outbreak of war we received some evacuees but I can鈥檛 remember when they started to attend our school.
All the children that were there including me were all very naughty. We said some not very nice things about them and weren鈥檛 very welcoming at that age. Everyone said they had knits in their hair and were not dressed very well. These evacuees came from the heart of Liverpool, which is some 30 miles from Chester and where lot of bombing was going on, and so they were removed to country areas like ours.
