With an introduction by Michael Caine In September 1939 millions listened anxiously as the Prime Minister declared that Britain was at war with Germany. When the children of Britain heard the news, most of them were in new homes, far away from their loving parents. The stories of these children - forever known as 'the evacuees' - are gathered here in their own words, as they recount the confusion, excitement and heartache of one of the defining moments of British history.
