How I was evacuated from Hong Kong in 1940 to spend WW2 in Australia
online resource
posted on 2024-06-05, 18:14 authored by Their Finest Hour Project TeamI have attached my experiences during the Second World War. Initially it is in the form of a report made by me at aged nine (I had done this previously in a York University exercise on a writing course). The letter, although posed as that of a nine year old, is true and accurate in what it describes. I follow this with an explanatory brief about my full experiences during the Second World War.
