Today we were lucky to have two very special visitors to Plover.
Roger and his sister Carroll came to tell us about their family’s experience of World War Two. Roger wasn’t born until after the war, but he has written about his Dad’s life, which involved fighting in the Queen’s Own Yorkshire Dragoons in the war. They even brought in a flag that their dad took from a German tank.
Carroll was only three when war broke out, but she told us so many stories about what it was like growing up during the war. She went to the nearby Intake Primary school and has memories of bomb shelters and taking drinks to Italian prisoners of war on the racecourse.
We all learnt something today, and we can’t wait to start turning their stories into our book.
We look forward to seeing them again at our celebration.
If you have any family stories of World War Two, we would love to hear them – please let your teacher know.
