    ... ruined them and I had worked so hard to get them presentable again. Looking at them now even with scratches and cuts from the crash, it was hard to believe. My home life had been rough too. My dad was conscripted into the army, and I was glad to see him go. When he was home he would drink too much and my mum would suffer terribly at his hands. He would get home and beat her when she wouldn't give him what he wanted. He never forced her so at least she was spared that but, on the day that she got the telegram telling us that he had been killed on Juno beach during the invasion of France, the sense of relief was so great that we just held each other tightly in the hallway. I swore at that moment that no man would ever put me through that hell. Sadly, my mum didn't live long enough to enjoy her new freedom.

Fred always talked about his wife with affection and even brought little cakes from her, when they had enough rations to make them, not just for me but for all of us girls whom he supervised.. On this particular night in Nineteen Forty-One, almost ten years ago, I had been at work about two hours when the air raid siren sounded. I was in the wash-room and had to quickly finish and get to the shelter but I didn't get he chance before the first bombs began to fall. I had experienced air raids before but I had never been out of the shelter during one and certainly never alone. I was always frightened whenever the attacks came but this time I was petrified.
