Schools at War

Schools at War marks the first time that the extraordinary tales of evacuation, improvisation, drama, and trauma experienced by many English schools during the Second World War have been collected into a single book. This remarkable achievement was made possible by the Association of Representatives of Old Pupils' Societies (AROPS). Founded in 1971, this group of old boys' and old girls' organizations now has more than 260 members. AROPS decided to conduct a survey to discover what actually happened to its members' Alma Maters during the years 1939 to 1945.
