Episode 13 : Remembering the Evacuation with Joe Gingell

Imagine being sent far away from home to a place where bombs drop on a daily basis, where you may not speak the language and everything’s strange. For thousands of Gibraltarians this was the reality of life during World War II following the evacuation of the civilian population from the Rock. In this episode I hear from Joe Gingell, who has spent years researching the memories of families who were sent away from their homes during the War.
