I lived at 2 Park Lane with my six brothers and sisters in a one room attic. My father was in the army at outbreak of war. My mother and all of the family were sent to Banchory for the remainder of the war. It was a cultural shock for us. We had never seen cows in a field. We lived on a farm for six years. We were so happy then. We did not want to come home. We cried all the way back to Dundee.</p> Park Lane 1939-1945 Animals Childhood Evacuation War Years Eileen Alexander Fri, 04 Mar 2011 15:42:38 +0000 lynne.davidson 609 at http://bygone.dundeecity.gov.uk
