We didn't really have to take any evacuees...
'The Cheapest Holiday We Could Find'
'We forgot about you!'
My chance was gone
A Phoney War
Our first intake of evacuees
"Woah Bob!"
As long as I was fed I could do virtually anything
After one was shot, the rest surrendered...
Our Final Battle
1) (On the quiet, of course)
2) Shrewsbury during the war
The glass-roofed factory
Good at making something out of nothing
Such a lovely place, but not during the war
A long sort of sock
"All genuine tickets please"
All sorts
I had to sit on the front of the tank
'Kitted out for civilian life'
Shropshire during the war
My only night in a shelter
Riding a horse up the steps
It seemed a bit of silly thing to have to do...

There was always plenty of cheese!
We weren't told...
All sorts of peculiar jobs
I've come back here today...
Saying our goodbyes to the family (including the cat)
September 3rd 1939 - A definitive date in history, was a golden autumn day...
"The invasion has started!"
An incendiary bomb dropped down our bedroom chimney!
By then, Dad had perfected our air-raid shelter...
It was shattered into a thousand pieces...
Feathers fell like snow
The Wizards Den was one extraordinary exception
After the frantic years of the blitz
Falling asleep in their food
It was bedlam!

The Commander鈥檚 Speech: You are there; May 3, 1945
I was machining all my working life
Crash and Burn
We cycled 12 miles to get a rabbit
It was always 'Red' Lipstick...
Little did the Germans know
You just had to do it there and then
Many processes
They're still in the bottom of the pool
"No Mother, not the dog!"
We buried the bakers van
It was full of bombs
Everyone donated a tin of corned beef
'Evacuees' What are they?
General De Gaulle was down the road
They taught us and we taught them
Arms, Legs and Cockroaches!
Frank thoroughly enjoyed it here
I jumped a five-barred gate without touching it
It's alright - it's only their nerves
We weren't prepared for war at all
They'd all just started, like me
That's how we crossed paths
You heard the "swish" of the rocket just before it landed on the house
All you could see was his eyes!
You'd see a queue and just jump on the end
Climbing trees and fences
We took notice that time!
We had some fun with 'em
He'd gone all the way round
It was lucky I'd already got married
