Description: | This essay was written by the London schoolboy John Fitzsimmons. The composition describes his experience of the 'phoney war' scare. In October 1938, war with Germany appeared imminent and plans were made for the evacuation of London schoolchildren. The evacuation was stopped when the Treaty of Munich was signed, since that agreement seemed to avert the threat of war.
This is one of many similar essays written about the aborted evacuation by schoolchildren during an English lesson. John was in Form 1 when he wrote the essay, so presumably he was 11 or 12 years old. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Museum of London | Subjects: | Public services London at War Home and Family | Temporal: | 1938 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
