In "Carrie's War," the village and surrounding area undergo significant changes due to the impact of World War II. The once peaceful and idyllic landscape is marred by the presence of evacuees and the scars of war, including bombings and destruction. The community transforms as relationships deepen, with locals and evacuees forming bonds that challenge class distinctions. Ultimately, the experiences of war shape the village's identity, leaving lasting impressions on its inhabitants and altering the social fabric of the area.

Could the evacuees choose where they got evacuated in World War 2?

The evacuees had absolutely no say at all in where they went, unless they had relatives living in one of the 'safe' areas. They were basically herded into the trains and sent off, with no idea where they were going at all. Their parents would have had no idea either until they got a letter from their child. Once they got to the village in which they were staying, they were taken to the village hall or school and were made to stand around the edge of it. It was then the villagers duty to come and choose as many children as they had spare beds. If there was not enough room for all of the children, then a billeter would take any remaining children around the village in case someone hadn't come to collect a child whenm they had a spare bed or to see if someone was willing to let the child squeeze into their house for a day or two until someone had been found who could take them in. Hope this helps!


What happend in copthorne in world war 2?

A search for information about World War II and how it affected some villages on the Sussex and Surrey border, led me to this webpage and the above question. Living in the area, and being a curious 'Oldie', I immediately wondered "Well, what did happen in Copthorne during the Second World War?" So, anxious to learn, I read the messages. But, sadly, they did not help either - at least as far as Copthorne is concerned. I then made many more searches on the Internet for information about Copthorne, and although an experienced researcher, I was unable to find any meaningful references to Copthorne in relation to WWII. Nor could I find any real history of Copthorne Village apart from references to boxing matches and smugglers having been in the vicinity in years past. Although the village has only developed during the last 150 years, even the Ordnance Survey Map surveyed in 1873 shows Copthorne to have more than fifty houses, including a blacksmith's 'Smithy', so it must have a little history. Equally, I feel sure that Copthorne Village and those who lived in it must have played an effective part in WWII. Immediately, questions spring to mind - "Were there any military units stationed in or around Copthorne? Was there a Home Guard Unit in the village? Did any bombs fall near, or in, Copthorne and were any enemy aircraft shot down that landed in Copthorne?". The Roll of Honour for Copthorne covers only The Great War of 1914-1918 and if there were any casualties from Copthorne during WWII, it seems that they have passed unrecorded. There are Local History books in our libraries specifically covering many of the neighbouring villages and towns in Sussex and Surrey, however, Copthorne seems to have been forgotten. My message is certainly not intended as a criticism, but solely with the hope that it will inspire a resident or group in the village of Copthorne to research its history - especially its part in WWII. I send my warm good wishes both to the village and the residents of Copthorne David

Ho chi Minh did not ever got married. Some rumors have been circulated he was married, but the fact he never married. Ho did produced some off springs from many woman. Back in pre-communist day, all the citizen belong to the state. a family is consider a private property or a corporation, so the law back then was not allowed.

What did the vietcong use tunnels systems for?

The Viet Cong used tunnels primarily as infiltration routes around South Vietnam. They would be able to move under ground to near their point of attack without being detected. After attacking a village or military they would return to the tunnel and disappear. They also could move supplies and cache weapons in them for later use. Some of the tunnels even had hospitals.
