Evacuated to Weston-super-Mare
published by Pat Hase on Thu, 09/02/2012 - 0:54

This photograph, taken on the sea front of Weston-super-Mare, shows three children who were evacuated to Weston during WW2. They were billeted with Group Captain & Mrs McCRAE who lived in a house at Westcliff. Group Captain James McCRAE was the Commanding Officer at RAF Locking.

The boy was called Harold HORSLEY but sadly he died just a few years ago. Does anyone remember the girls? They were not Harold's sisters. The granddaughter of Group Capt & Mrs McCRAE would like to make contact with them if possible. Any suggestions would be passed on to her.

I've had another email from the granddaughter of Group Capt & Hilda McCRAE- she is still looking for these girls but there was no response last time. There are 5 entries redacted on the 1939 Register with her grandmother in Weston so she is hoping that they are still alive. She wonders whether anyone recognises the school uniform.
