This story was submitted to the People's War site by Louise Angell of the CSV Action desk at 麻豆官网首页入口 Radio Derby, on behalf of Roy McGahey. The author understands the sites terms and conditions.

I remember being evacuated at about the age of 5. We had to go to St. Chad's Infant School and a coach came for us and took us to Belper. We were sent off with a bar of chocolate and a tin of condensed milk. We stood and waitied to be claimed. My sister was with me so she was the boss. The family I stayed with had a huge kitchen table. One day I was playing under it and ended up getting splashed on my shoulders and chest with chip fat so I was sent home. I never found out what happenned to the chocolate and condensed milk.

We lived on Normanton Road, in Derby. I remember waking up one morning to find we had no windows.I don't know what had happenned. I was taken to the infirmary and the put sticking plaster all over my chest. When they took it off it was very painful.

We also had half a day off school when they dropped a bomb on Derby station.
