Evacuation! - (DVD, CD, Booklet)

At the outbreak of World War II most people expected enemy bombers to arrive within hours to destroy their homes and loved-ones. To save the children, the Government organised the largest movement of people in British history, known as ‘The Evacuation’. This ’Yesteryear Scrapbook’ reveals the amazing discipline of this mammoth, worldwide exercise and offers an insight into the tribulations endured by a generation.
