During WW2, when your parents were kids, did your parents have to wear

Did they have to wear Tags on a string around their neck that had their name and address on them every day when they went to school?

My mom did. Everyone in Saint John did. Kids anyways

Don't think they did but dad finished school and started working in the dockyard during the war. So he was thrown in the deep end work wise, he was in the home guard as well on an anti aircraft battery and fire watch during the nights.

My mum moved around a lot as Granddad was in merchant navy and on the convoys. Their house was destroyed in the Liverpool bombing and they moved back south then.
