Evacuee From London

I was interested to read the article by Ron Clarke (1950s football team). I lived at 34 Fulbourne Road with Mr and Mrs Clarke in the war. They were looking after their grandson whose father I believe was named Phil and was posted abroad. I have a few memories of Cherry Hinton in the war, some good, some not so good. I had a good time with the Clarke family and they are among my best childhood memories.

Before them I was billeted at 'Mafeking Cottages' and then Cherry Hinton Hall. I was one of 9 children and never saw my mother till the war ended. I left 34 Fulbourne Road in 1945 to return to a very poor family. I would love to hear if Ron was that grandchild. I am 75.
