At the age of 9 Geoffrey Lee Williams and his twin brother Alan felt ready for the war but were not ready for its consequences. The government had long planned the mass evacuation of children, under the code name Pied Piper, but the details were kept secret from local authorities and the population at large. The first wave left British cities on 1 September 1939 and by September 3, a few hours before war was officially declared, it is estimated that millions of women and children had already been allocated to the planned reception areas or had been privately evacuated.
