This story was submitted to the Peoples War site by Mary Walker.
I lived in Bootle at the time the war began. On the Thursday morning we were told that we had to leave, we went to the station on Prescott Road. We got off the train at Wigan. There were busses to take us to the rest centre and the church army.
We went to a British restaurant for a meal at the end of the day if there was anyone left in Bootle they were taken on lorries to Skelmesdale or Ormskirk. The ones that went to skem would come back the next day but we stayed in Wigan for a couple of months.
The blitz had finished by the time we came back.
