The Children's War ~ A Harry & Edna on the Wireless special

[Warden]

We have just recorded / broadcast a special Harry & Edna on the Wireless. In this programme we feature the war though the eyes of British children.

The show includes clips from the BBC & my 9 year old daughter interviewing her Grandma about living through the Blitz.

Chums, you may know Edna & I present a radio show called 'Harry & Edna on the Wireless'.

Each week we are joined by a guest and this week a lady called Joan Draper joined us. She spoke to us about her experiences about been evacuated. It is a really moving and shows how war affects generations for years.

The story of children in wartime is fascinating and continues to be of interest. I can hardly imagine modern parents allowing their children to be evacuated.
For a rather different take on children in wartime Britain, try this:

Nice one Harry, good stuff, thoroughly enjoyed that. Also loved how you used "Fanny is Evacuated Now" as the intro music
