Hello my name is Jack miles and I am 10 years old I live in the East End of London.

I am writing to tell you how my life has changed since world warll.

Firstly when I heard about war it was just so exciting. I was thinking of how the Germans would die and how their heads would be chopped off and the blood just there dripping away. My friends and I were so happy we were just thinking of how the Germans are all going to be killed. There won’t be such name called Germans because that name would soon be extinct after we sought them out.

 With my mum that was a totally different situation she thought I was ought to curve my mouth. She thinks she knows best just because she knows what it was like in World War I. Anyway who cares what it was like I was going to experience my own war.

At the 3rd of September we all had to prepare for the war.

My excitement could not wait anymore we had to start building are own shelter.

The thing that made it more exciting was that we had to build the shelter in are back garden. It took a lot of work until it was done properly. Are shelters, that we had was called a Anderson shelter. We also had another shelter under the stairs, which was built as well. This was called morron shelter. This shelter was mostly used when you could not be bothered to get out your bed in the middle of the night so you would just go down and go under the stairs where the shelter was. In these shelters there was a bunk bed a torch and matches. That’s what we had anyway. You could squeeze as much things that you would need for an emergency in the shelter, but it only depended how big you shelter was. I felt proud building the shelter with my dad but I was still scared because I did not want my dad to fight.

I forgot to tell you I live with my mum dad and my two sisters.

The next day it was about 11:00 in the evening and a siren went off we were all going bonkers and we did not know what to do. My mum woke me up from my sleep but I did not listen I was too tired to do anything. Any way that was a false alarm.

My life has changed so much and I will begin telling you my life-changing story.

All I can say I wish life was like old times and I wish there was peace.

As the war was declared my father had to work more earn more money for us since he signed in for war. How could he go behind mum’s back and signed in.

When mum heard she went crazy. She was crying her heart out I had never seen her like this before.

I was thinking to myself that I shouldn’t take life for granted I was only 10years old.

While dad went out for work me and my sisters always went out and played with are friends that was the good thing about a war you get freedom.
