| when l was three years old, world war two started.l remember standing in a que with my mother and brother.We were given gas masks in a black box with a shoulder strap , to be carried at all times l remember us digging a shelter in the ground and covering it with corrigated sheets, and then with soil, and planting flowers on top.quite often in the night the sirens would go off ,and we had to make our way to the shelter in the dark as no lights were allowed.we often heard whistling bombs and the sound of bomber planes going over, when the all clear siren went off we made our way back into the house. |
