In October 1939, 16-year-old Eric Armstrong took the coach from his home in Handsworth, Birmingham to faraway rural Gloucestershire. For this evacuee, living away from Mum and Dad turned out to be much more pleasant than anticipated. Along with family photos and illustrations from contemporary popular entertainments, Eric's diaries and later commentaries offer an evocation of a new life of walks, cycling, trips to the cinema and 'lots of simply lovely girls'.
