I was living in Green Park during the war. I was married and my husband had a garage in Castle Hill. I had my daughter in 1942. The Americans had a camp at the back of us. They were very generous and would often give us tea and sugar which were in short supply.

It still makes me laugh when I remember the Americans marching past our house every day, shouting ‘Hoomp! Hoomp! Hoomp! Four!’ as they marched.
