Last Thursday, we had a wonderful visit from Miss A Partridge, author of 'Name on a Stone East and West Harling 1914-1918' Not only did she share how a historian can use public records to find out about the stories behind the names on the war memorial, she also shared some amazing first hand accounts of life as an evacuee in the Second World War. We are extremely grateful to Miss partridge for not only giving up her time but sharing some unique historical facts.
This week we are focusing on life in 1939 -1941, the mass evacuations and the Blitz. Any stories your family may have of this time would be greatly appreciated. The inquiry topic is about the villages around East Harling as well as East Harling. Below is a link to the BBC timeline which we will use to put the time in context.
