Letter about wartime Lambeth evacuee Alice McDonald to her parents in London from Mrs K Grant of Gravits Lane Bognor Regis. She was initially evacutated to Littlehampton in Sussex before being billetted with Mrs Grant, whom she called 'Auntie'. In 2005 Alice recalled an air raid: "Sometimes she [Mrs Grant] didn't want to go to the air raid shelter - there was a little park, a green with the air raid shelters, and we were allocated the middle one. And one night she said she didn't feel well enough, so we went under the stairs; and there was a direct hit on the middle shelter! And the next day she wrote to my mum and said come and bring Alice home; that was 1940."Digital image by kind permission of Alice McDonald. From the Lambeth Archives Home Front project 2005.
