In 1940 my sisters and I were to have been evacuated to Canada, but at the last minute my mother would not let us go, as the organisation which was organising the evacuation(I don't know who they were, something to do with the Catholic church) would not take my brother who was only a few months old. Mum did not want us split up. Shortly after the ship sailed we all went to Yorkshire, where my Grandfather and aunts lived. We stayed safely in Yorkshire until the end of the war. The ship we should have sailed on was the City of Benares. Did Mum have a premonition?
