This story was submitted to the WW2 People's War Website by the London Borough of Harrow Housebound Library Service on behalf of Mrs Lilian Walker, and has been added with her permission.
My cousin living in Jersey decided to leave when war was declared imminent. She managed to embark on the last boat to leave Jersey before war started: a boat carrying potatoes to England. Her husband decided to stay in Jersey and he and his friends used to listen to the B.B.C., having a radio hidden under floorboards in a bedroom. If caught they would have been taken prisoners and sent to work in German labour camps. Later the Red Cross were able to tell him that he had a daughter born in Wales!
