Today marks the anniversary of Britain's entry into the Second World War on September 3, 1939. Shropshire had already welcomed an influx of evacuees. These were arriving at Bridgnorth railway station, we think on September 2, and are having a drink while waiting for transport to take them to their new homes. The policeman's number is 333. Can anyone identify him?
