In 1939 I was evacuated to a Girls school in Wylam. While I was there I very rarely left the house. The only time I left the house was to visit soldiers in hospitals and to go to the village to get my sweet rations for the week. living on rations wasn't that bad. i really couldn't complain becuase the people who owned the school were kind enough to take me into the school. things like bread, cheese, meat, milk and sweets were rationed. nothing ever happened to the school it wasn't bombed or raided. I had a very nice life there as i wasn't put in any danger. when i got home our house had been bombed so we had to move to some flats which i didn't like. After, my mother bought a house which I liked much more. Also I returned to find my father alive but suffering from shellshock
