Harvey from Soho

Harvey, a long time resident of Soho in central London, enjoyed visiting the students and telling of his families' involvement in WWI and WWII.

Harvey's father had been a soldier in WWI and he escaped death a startling number of five times!

When WWII began Harvey was living in Soho with his family. At this time Harvey's mother had the opportunity to send her children to the countryside so that they would be safe from the bombs that would descend onto London during the Blitz. But Harvey's mum refused to send her children away. She had the attitutde that if they were going to die they would all die together.

Now Harvey has amazing stories from living during WWII that he happily shares with school children.
