The Wild Dispatch

EP57: The Evacuee ↣ Escaping WWII With Ray & Violet Warman²


Listen Later

This week it is Violet Warman's 97th Birthday. She was born in 1928 — Rather a lot of wild stuff happened since that day... 

In this episode Robin was lucky enough to hear some of Vi and Ray's memories from the past: The moment WW2 was declared, being evacuated, watching dog fights in the skies above... and trading bike rides to American soldiers for enormous amounts of pocket money. 

In this episode takes a leap from the urban world of East London, and escape to the English countryside.

Happy Birthday Violet! And thank you both for sharing your time and stories today.
