Items related to A Very Different War
The story of an evacuee sent to America during WWII, based on letters written at the time The fear of an invasion by the German army was on everyone's minds in the summer of 1940 and Louise Milbourn's parents felt forced to make the agonizing decision to send their two daughters away - to America for safety. This separation was to last five long years during which Louise and Blanche enjoyed a happy American childhood in Philadelphia whilst Britain was at war. The contrast between the girls' experience of wartime to that of their family became apparent on their return to the austerity of Britain in 1945. The five years spent apart was also to cast a lasting shadow on the girls' relationship with their mother. Combining her memories and letters written at the time, Louise Milbourn has pieced together this compelling and true account of the impact of the war and the evacuation on her family.
