MIKE COVELL'S HULL AT WAR FILES - THE EVACUATIONS

During September 1939, 40,000 school children from Hull vanished, many returned, many did not wish to leave, but the mass evacuation was a major part of WWII. For years the true scale of those evacuations has never been published...until now! Packed with contemporary reports, this volume shows the planning, preparations, mistakes, failures, successes, and how an army of volunteers were pulled together to move thousands of children, pregnant women, and disabled people to safety.
