Description |
A day at a St. George's Home for Boys which was run by the Waifs and Strays society. The boys and staff were evacuated to Pont-y-Pant in North Wales in 1939. The morning starts off with gargling before the boys head to school. While the boys are at school, the matron does the housework and the master does the gardening. During their lunch break, the boys go for a walk and look at sheep and their lamb in the fields. It starts to snow as they head back to school. After school, the boys have more work to do, helping out with chores. Some of the boys have their cut. The day ends with a game of marbles. |
