I was 9 and was told that I was going out of Liverpool and bring some clothes in a pillowcase. We got on a train and ended up in Chester and were taken to a school hall. People came and choose which children they wanted. I was given a tin of corn beef, a packet of biscuits and crackers. When I got to the house I wasn’t given a meal and thought I didn’t t like this at all. The next day war had been declared, and on the following Monday I decided to go home. I was put in the back of a van and brought home to Liverpool and took me to the corner or the street were I lived, when I saw my sister she asked why I was home and I just said I didn’t like it and wanted to come home. I was only there for 2 or 3 days.
I was sent on evacuation again during the may blitz, of 1941 as the bombing was terrible.
