A. Dear Ann,
How are you? I can’t wait till you finish your course and return home. I have had no one to talk my problems over with since you left. That’s why I’m writing. I need your advice. The problem has to do with my parents again.

B. Another problem is that they think I’m too young to go out alone with my friends. Don’t they realize I’ve grown up? What should I do to make them understand?

C. You remember that they are members of a gardening club, don’t you? Well anyway, this club organizes a dance for its members and their families every month. My parents always insist that I go along with them.

D. I feel helpless. If you were me, would you just ignore them and do what ever you wanted to? I’m anxiously waiting for your reply.
Yours,
Sandra

E. I can’t tell you how boring it is to watch all the “oldies” dance. There are some other children that go there, but that’s exactly what they are – children. I’ve told my parents I don’t like going to these dances, but they don’t take me seriously.

A. Dobbie Dobson. “We were evacuated later on and were billeted with a wonderful family in Lancashire. When my mother eventually found my little brother, she arranged for him to join us, but as we were already overcrowded, he went to stay with a family in the next street. One day my mother and the lady who we were billeted with, went around to see him and found him on his hands and knees scrubbing floors. They were very upset and although there were ten children in our family, the lady insisted he come back with us. The lady and her husband had a heart of gold and she and mum remained friends long after the war until mum died.”

B. Tommy Mac. “Like every other city in Britain, Glasgow was bursting with excitement. The entire city was a little mad. Schools were closed for the day. At the bottom of the street the dance was the ‘eightsome reel’ – this was Scotland’s national dance, and everyone could join in. Music and lights were everywhere! To see the lights go on again was a miracle in itself”.

C. Svetlana Pankratova. “My grandma and her two little sons were captured in Russia during the war. They were sent to a labour camp in Germany. Grandmother told us that many people pitied the Russians and shared some of their food with them, but that food was almost nothing, and she had to go begging with other captives to local people to feed her two children. Some of the locals were friendly and gave something, but others were stony faced and she knew in advance that they would give nothing. When the war was over my grandmother learnt that her husband, my grandfather, had also been captured, and had been working in a camp nearby.”

D. Walter Morison. “…the Germans treated us well and observed the Geneva Conventions, an international treaty on the treatment of POWs. But of course we wanted to go home. And we often spoke about it. It was technically demanding, exciting, dangerous; a sport really. However, we learned with horror that 50 RAF officers who had escaped from Stalag Luft III had been shot. This was no longer “cricket”. There was also the worry that we might be caught in a chaotic no-man’s land between the Russians in the East and the Anglo-Americans to the West.”

E. Mary MacGween. “…At that time I was visiting my husband, who had been injured when the lorry he was travelling in overturned, crushing his leg beneath the huge searchlight. He was in Surrey and it was there I saw the plight of his fellow patients. I saw young men with vacant stares, shell-shocked and suffering from the loss of memory.”

F. Joan Vass. “Having passed as a qualified balloon operator, I was sent to help defend the City of Steel, Sheffield. There was a crew of 12 women including a sergeant and a corporal. Part of our duties was guard duty several times a week. But our job took priority. More often than not we would be hauled out of our warm beds to either fly the balloon or pull her into the wind because of a wind change. I think I was privileged to work as a Balloon Operator, one of the toughest jobs in the Royal Air Force.”

G. Eric Brown. “I don’t know the details of the methods used to place children for evacuation, but I do recall my parents, who had a car, driving my sister and me to a humble cottage on the outskirts of Edinburgh. Our “adopting” family had children of their own, and my recollection was that they were not well off. Then my parents returned to collect us and we were taken to another location. That place was called Craigs, and thus began a few years of the most memorable times for young children. I am grateful to the owners of the house for making it available to us children during those harrowing times.”
