Although the log books of
Froyle School do not mention any evacuees, we understand that children
from the Portsmouth area as well as London were evacuated to Froyle.
Also, we have been given the photograph above by Marj Robinson
- it was taken in 1940 and shows a couple of young evacuees standing
with David Brownjohn (the lad with cap on the right) outside
Rock House Farm in Lower Froyle. The two evacuees are believed to
be Dutch with the name Van Eagam (spelling may not be correct).
Patricia Pritchard (nee Milne) has put together the list below
of those she can remember. If you recognise your name here,
or are one of the lads in the photo, or are not on the list but were
evacuated to Froyle, we would love to hear from you. |
