How old were you during the Second World War? Do you remember anything about it? Were you evacuated? As I was born in 1943, I obviously do not remember anything about the war. How did the war interfere with daily life? (Please write what your parents told you if you were to young to remember.) My parents went off to live in Bournemouth for two years to get away from the more dangerous London area. However, they saw a V1, or Doodlebug, come down very close to their home in Parkfield Crescent before they left. They took me down into the shelter for safety. Were you ever in the armed forces? Why? Which service did you join and how long did you serve? Did you see service overseas? No. My father, Grandad Green, signed up for the forces but because he suffered from an ear complication (burst eardrum) he was not accepted.
