Ydrefors is today a tiny village located in the middle of an immense pine forest of south central Sweden. We notice a photograph of the village school during World War II. The village at the time was larger with a sawmill, shops, a school, and even a railway station. There were many active farms in the surrounding area. Today the farms are mostly gone and the few people remaining in the village work in nearby towns. We notice the Ydrefors village school in 1944. That was of course during World War II which was raging all around Sweden. Norway and Denmark were still occupied by the Germans and Finland which joined the Germans was trying to extricate itself from the War. Notice that quite a few of the girls wear pinafores. The boys seem to wear a variety of clothes. We notice long ski-like knickers that are gathered at the ankle, long trousers (with suspenders in some cases), and also short trousers with long stockings. The children seem to be of slighlty mixed ages as onevmightvexpect from a village school. They seem to be from about 9-12 years old. Notice the woman teacher standing at the rear left.
