520    Do you remember collecting shrapnel and listening to 
       Children's Hour? Carrying gas masks or sharing your school
       with evacuees from the city? The 1940s was a time of great
       challenge for everyone who lived through it. From the 
       hardships and fear of a World War, with Britain's towns 
       and cities were being bombed on an almost nightly basis, 
       to the trauma of being parted from one's parents and sent 
       away to the country to live with complete strangers. For 
       just over half of this decade the war continued, meaning 
       food and clothing shortages became a way of life. But 
       through it all, and afterwards, the simplicity of kids 
       shone through. From collecting bits of shot down German 
       aircraft to playing in bomb-strewn streets, kids made 
       their own fun. Then there was the joy of the second half 
       of this decade, when fathers came home and fun things 
       started up again. This trip down memory lane will take you
       through the most memorable and evocative experiences of 
       growing up in the 1940s.
