Doe Lea In Ww2

A Memory of Doe Lea.

I arrived in Doe Lea in June 1940 with other evacuees from Lowestoft, Suffolk. I lived in Doe Lea untill 1944. At first we were not accepted by the local children, eventually we mingled and became friends, since the war have been back many times and visited various friends.
Sadly the village was razed to the ground and most of the villagers moved elsewhere.  I strolled around this summer what is now called The Brambles but nothing is the same as it was and I think every thing is spoilt.
My war-time education was at Stainsby School which stood me in good stead all my working life.
I chuckle at times when I think what us kids got up to in the wartime black out.
I think that all us ex-evacuees left a bit of ourselves in Doe Lea when we left and came back to Lowestoft.
