Victoria, a wartime evacuee tells her story from the time, a day before the war was declared, she was evacuated from London to the village of Fowlmere, near Duxford, Cambridgeshire. Victoria tells this wartime story through her then childs eyes, the tragic deaths of her two brothers both lost in action, one serving in the army in France and the other serving in the Royal Navy during Operation Tourch, (an after reported) suicide mission that involved the loss of two navel ships - HMS Walney and HMS Hartland. Victoria also speaks about the sighting of aerial dogfights between the RAF and the German Luftwaffe during the Battle Of Britain over Fowlmere and relates to the arrival of the American servicemen, the way they responded to her as a London child. |
