With the coming of the 70th anniversary of Pied Piper (evacuation of the children in 1939), on the September 2 at St. Paul's Cathedral, London, I was wondering if anyone has any pictures or letters regarding this evacuation.

I now live in Dartford, Kent, but was born at Blithbury Road, Dagenham.

Together with my brother we were evacuated to Raunds, Northamp-tonshire in September 1940; I was five-years-old and my brother was nine.

I am now 74 and of course there are no living relatives to get any information from.

I am a member of the Evacuees Reunion Association and take a great interest in this Anniversary.

I have over the years, tried to get more information, but so far have not really come up with anything. The strange thing was my brother and I went to Northampton, and of the boys who lived round the corner in Porters Avenue, two went to Devon and the other two went to Wales.

It would be truly wonderful if I could find any pictures or stories regarding this time. We went from the Park Modern School by coach and then my brother remembers we went by train to Northampton.

I cannot remember that part of the journey, my next memory is arriving at this very dark place with ladies with clipboards trying to get us billeted. I still keep in touch with the daughter of the lady I was evacuated with.

If anybody remembers me or my brother, our name was Littler.
