Title
Interview with Sheila Reid Chaplin
Description
Sheila Chaplin grew up in Liverpool where her mother was the matron and her father the secretary of a hospital. Sheila and her parents listened to the radio as declaration of war was announced and Sheila recalls her parents reacted to the news with a sense of foreboding. Sheila’s first experience of the sight of war was seeing injured survivors of Narvik lined up on bunks in the hospital awaiting medical attention. Once the family were bombed out of their cellar shelter and transferred to the Anderson shelter in the garden. It was then she saw Liverpool ablaze. When undergoing her training to become a lawyer after the war she saw the still bombed sites of London.
