' Home Again ' : the true story of the adventurous journey of four children from the middle of occupied Europe to their own homes in Birmingham

Their journey was a long one-U-boats added to its excitement-but it had a happy ending, and will be told this afternoon by the young people themselves to Derek McCul lough.
