Afternoon Play: Dear Gerald

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Alyson Hallet 's moving dramatised documentary is based on the letters of 12-year-old Gerald
Meadows which he sent back to his parents in England when he was evacuated to South Africa for the duration of the Second World War. The letters, lost for 60 years, recall the rites of passage of a boy growing up in wartime South Africa. Featuring Gerald Meadows.
