Fire watching and evacuation in one family's Blitz memories

Did anyone in your family have stories about the Blitz?

Yes; his grandfather fire-watched at St Paul's Cathedral, while his father and mother were among those evacuated during the war.

A grandfather served on fire watch at St Paul's Cathedral during the Blitz. The paternal side of the family was evacuated from Liverpool, while the mother was evacuated as a newborn baby. Air-raid defence and mass evacuation therefore entered several branches of one family's wartime experience.
