EvacueesIt's very interesting to hear other peoples experiences of being evacuated. Mine was a mixture of unpleasant, exciting and very pleasant. I was evacuated from Canning Town London in about 1940 Just as the Blitz started to Chepstow Monmouth which got a bit hot when we were Machine gunned from the air. From there back to London and then to Anstey, Leicester with my Grandmother, Aunt and cousin who were bombed out. I was billeted with them and a very nice lady, for a very pleasant period returning to London as and when conditions allowed. Whilst many documentaries' have been made of this period to my mind they did not represent a true picture.
