jimsan1-part 7

[Silvercracker]

Hello Jim, I just become an associate YouTuber and have just come across your video while replying to Geriatric 1927(Peter) You mentioned you would like to hear about the wartime experiences of children. I was 5 years old at the outbreak. Cheerio Denis

Thanks again Jim! I am slowly making my way through your videos (one every couple of days) and your stories are fascinating. I love hearing them.

Take care,

William

I first heard about the "separation" thing as a kid, when I read "Narnia"; then learned more about the effects of WW1 on people, when I read about Tolkien's world and influences. Those two wars certainly defined and changed life for our parents' generation and the one a bit before them. Thanks Jim - you're bringing this to people who might not have been aware of it otherwise; and maybe they'll be inspired to find out more. Keep em' coming! ;-)

If you need any help getting pictures up, I can help you if you don't have any help already. Just message me or send an email to me asking about it (my email: ChibiX17@hotmail.com).

This was interesting to listen to, and I hope you do more!

Jim, thank you for answering the question about whether parents were with you, or you were alone. Plus..you added some great tidbits about the children running away, making a game of it all (that's what children do, of course)..Looking forward to more...You certainly beat television, that's for sure..

[mattduran06]

are you and geriatric friends? you should be....you guys should meet up and make a video!

[KwansPrayerWarrior]

I guess what I don't understand is, why go through the heartache of separating the kids from their parents to begin with?

[liptochron]

Great stuff, Jim.

I can't believe they put kids through all that back then. But I cringed most at your tailoring debacle.

Do you build your own computers? I bet you'd be good at it.

I think the ship was the Volendam Aug 30 1940

Dear Jim, amazing and very sad. So children didn't see their parents for 5 or so years - not even a visit? How was it when you finally saw your parents again - was it hard to feel at home again?

I really love you war stories. I've just recently watched a film about what people did during the war from my hometown of Bolton. One of the then children said that they were taken into a bomb shelter underneath the school and sing 10 green bottles until the all clear was given.
