The small boy at the centre front of the image is an evacuee from Hull, Tommy Johnson.
Tommy stayed with the Grice family who lived at Kirkby Underwood.
When the family moved to Rowston he returned briefly to a heavily bombed Hull, as his mother did not want him to stay with anyone but the Grices. When the move was completed he returned to stay with them.
