Peter’s WW2 Visit

Peter an 89 year old man who was alive during ww2 came into our class and told us about what he did in ww2. When the war broke out he was 10 when the war ended he was 16. Peter got a gun to shoot rats and he got a sixpence for every rat tail he showed to the post office. Peter lived on a farm and near the middle of the war the farm got 2 P.O.Ws and some land girls. In the war a woman and her 2 children came to live in Peter’s house as evacuees. At Peter’s school the Headmaster painted a map of the world on the gym hall wall. At the end of his talk he showed us some pictures of him in the parachute rescue squad. The thing we realised was that people were scared that we could be invaded at any time.
