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. 538 System requirements: Adobe Digital editions. 588 0 Print version record. 600 10 Marsh, James,|d1940-|xChildhood and youth. 650 0 Nineteen forties|vAnecdotes. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945|xChildren|zGreat Britain|vAnecdotes. 650 7 HISTORY / Social History.|2bisacsh 651 0 England|xSocial conditions|y20th century|vAnecdotes. 655 0 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aMarsh, James, 1940-|t1940s childhood. |dStroud, Gloucestershire : The History Press, 2014. |z9780752499505|w(DLC)2014432812 914 frd00009510
