Lillian Smith The Evacuee

Yesterday, a lady called Lillian Smith came in and we asked her questions about what it was like during the war. Lillian was only five years old when the war started and she was evacuated, she was terrified. She had to go on a train to get to safety, she had to go from London to Swansea. A lovely couple with no children of their own called Mr. and Mrs James looked after her until the end of the war.

Lillian told us during The Blitz if you looked down at the center of Swansea, all you would see was a big orange glow. She remembered the sirens going off and she had to hide under the stairs.

When Lillian was on the train back to London, she was very exited, but when she got home she was horrified! Every thing was "broken, flat and half-built." Luckily her Mum and Dad both survived the war but Lillian didn't like it in London anymore, so she went back to Swansea when she was eighteen.
 
If you look in Coed Gwilym Park,you can see a statue of Lillian Smith next to a bench. The statue is there for her being such a good midwife.
