Preedy女士对她战时经历的描述很有用，因为她的描述是基于她自己同时代的日记。然而，这些日记很可能会被她所经历的种种不适所主导(与她的朋友们分开，与“冷漠”的主人在他们冰冷的家中)。我们不知道Preedy夫人在撤离时的年龄，也不知道撤离了多长时间，但她对这次经历的不满是显而易见的。对于一个10岁的孩子(资料来源11)，我们得到的同期记录是非常基础的。在询问了母亲的健康状况后，她说她不喜欢接待她的人的脸，但她指的是没有在白天见过这位女士。我们可以由此推断，这封信是在夜间到达后不久写的，这些第一印象是一个孩子在她的主人身上寻找友善的迹象，但只在他们的狗身上找到。虽然信中没有详细说明，但是这个孩子对新环境的即时反应是很有价值的。科普斯的自传写于二战结束近20年后，讲述了他对新环境的清洁和奢华的敬畏(来源10)。科普斯先生从伦敦的一个贫困地区被疏散到白金汉郡的一个村庄，从一个贫穷的工人阶级家庭过渡到一个中产阶级家庭。科普斯没有描述他的东道主，也没有描述与他同住的其他撤离者;他的回忆完全是基于新环境带来的物质利益(比如热水和室内厕所!)尽管科普斯的自传并非基于他在战争期间所作的笔记，但他的叙述读起来，似乎发现这种新生活方式的纯粹喜悦仍在他的脑海中十分鲜活。此外，他从工人阶级家庭向中产阶级家庭的转变，似乎与普雷迪夫人从中产阶级家庭向工人阶级家庭的转变所带来的创伤一样令人惊叹。
加拿大历史学论文代写:撤离人员的经验
Mrs Preedy’s account of her wartime experiences is useful as she has based her account on her own contemporaneous diaries. The diaries will, however, likely be dominated by the discomforts she experienced (being separated from her friends, with ‘cold’ hosts, in their cold home). We are not told how old Mrs Preedy was at the time of her evacuation or how long she was evacuated for but her unhappiness with the experience is palpable.For one 10 year old (source 11), the contemporaneous account we are given is very basic. After enquiring as to her mother’s health, she says that she doesn’t like her hosts’ faces but refers to not having seen the lady in daylight. We might infer from this that the letter was written soon after a night-time arrival and these first impressions are from a child searching for signs of friendliness in her hosts, and only finding it in their dog. While the letter is not detailed, there is significant value in this child’s immediate response to her new environment.Mr Kops’ autobiography, written almost twenty years after the end of the war, recounts his awe at the cleanliness and lavishness of his new surroundings (source 10). Mr Kops was evacuated from a poor district of London to a Buckinghamshire village, making the transition from a poor working class household to a middle class home. Mr Kops does not describe his hosts, or the other evacuees he was billeted with; his recollections are solely on the material benefits of his new environment (such as hot tap water and an indoor loo!). While Mr Kops’ autobiography is not based on notes he made during the war, his account reads as though the unadulterated joy of discovering this new lifestyle is still very much fresh in his mind. Further, his transition from a working class to a middle class home appears to have been as wondrous as Mrs Preedy’s transition from a middle class to working class environment was traumatic.
