My parents passed their wartime memories on to me on my fathers side he was in the Royal Signals in India when war was declaired and saw some bitter hand to hand combat one tale he told was as he was at aldershot and he heared on the news that fauld bomb dump had exploded the bigest bang in ww2 except for the atom bombs. He got an imediate week end pass on that. Later he helped with communications at the Teran conferance and got to shake hands with Churchill and the Shah of Iran. My mother bycylcled 40 miles a day to Leicester to work in the Munition factories but her most vivid recolection of the war is when Coventry was bombed only 30 miles away but the skies were lit up for many nights.
