5554WORLD WAR II IN SCOTLAND. ALS. 6pgs. October 5 1940. Drummakill Alexandria Dunbartonshire. An autograph letter signed Hector and written during World War Two. The author discusses hosting evacuated children and the fact that Scotland has so far been lucky in avoiding air raids. Our first lot of 3 boys are no longer with us. One of them the nicest lad died last Xmas from appendicitis the other two took themselves off to a farm as they objected to being kept in order! But lately I hear they returned home to Clydebank. Whether we get others depends on the severity of air raids! So far Scotland has really been lucky in this respect. Of course there are some here & there. We hear the hum sometimes usually at night and have heard bombs exploding but quite a bit away! But you never can tell when it might not be a bigger affair!! It is wonderful how England is standing up to her ordeal & the amazing cheerfulness of people with it all. I have a cousin & her husband in London & she writes now & then saying that life is noisy in London! But she manages to do a lot of war work often taking it to their air raid shelter. But I believe people get used even to the sound of many guns!. Clydebank where the two remaining boys had returned home would suffer a deadly blitz the following year. In fine condition and including the original mailing envelope sent to Chevy Chase Maryland. unknown
