The Little Girl’s Secret Bournemouth, England - 1943 The wind had blown sand off the beach onto the promenade at Bournemouth. It was a clear summer day in 1943, when ten-year old Sylvia and her four- year brother were playing in the sand. They didn’t often get to play along the seafront and when they did, it was usually a Sunday just after Church. On this Sunday, it was at lunchtime, and they were the only ones on the promenade.
