On this
first list
there were 19
evacuees
without
designated
billets, and I
wonder if they
were
contingents
taken to
outlying
villages such
as Greatham,
Liss and
Selborne. For
example, Miss
Allam, the
billeting
officer for the
Empshott
district, took
five or six in
her car to
Empshott. I and
my brother
George were
among them, and
we were dumped
(literally!) on
Mrs. Chappell
at Empshott
Green, who
obviously did
not want us.
Some went into
Mrs. Chiverton’s,
next door, and
others
went to The
Vicarage and
Brook Cottage,
all in Empshott
Green.
There is a
pencilled note
that five boys,
un-named,
accompanied Mr.
Forbes to the
Bradford’s at
Empshott Lodge.
The next
indication of
Billets
Allocations is
a list probably
made in early
1940,
But I find
it astounding
that not one
piece of paper,
in these
contemporary
manuscript
archives, is
dated!
