Publisher's Synopsis
The memoirs series of books, spanning from up to, and including WW2, cover the history of the Midhurst Rural District MRD, a beautiful part of West Sussex in England. They are intended to be a living research resource for others to pick up from if they seek to delve deeper, or to learn of their heritage.
They began with my children, and then their children, asking me to help them with their school work on 'What did your father (or grandfather) do in WW2?' I only had a superficial child's knowledge of my formative years as an evacuee taken to the Midhurst. That was not good enough!
Writing about my own evacuation experience would barely cover 80 pages! It would not contribute much of general interest unless the back stories were also present. It led me to revealing and researching the stories behind my own experiences of that time. Fascinating!
This book is the companion guide to the Midhurst WW2 Memoirs series of books. It gives the main points of my own story presented in Midhurst in 2014 to the Midhurst Society, and then describes the follow-on from that event as the books are born.
All books in the series are made available as Print on Demand on-line editions, along with their e-book equivalents. Local, off the shelf, purchase will be available throughout the Midhurst Rural District.
