In just three days from September1, 1939,more than one-and-a-half million people were taken from British towns and cities into the country, exiled from their homes by the threat of massive air raids. One million of those were children, many traveling in school parties and each carrying a gas mask and a suitcase of clothes.
Shirley Coombs and Ella Grimmer, who were part of the mass evacuation of children to the English countryside during WWII, have co-written this memoir, Shir-Ella. Shirley now lives in Palm Springs with her husband, and her sister Ella still lives in the family home in England.
