The whole time I spent at the Grammar School was during the war, I can remember using our gas masks in their neat square boxes as rounder posts during the long lunch breaks and when raids began in earnest, hoping the siren would go before we got to school so that we could go down a street shelter and eat our iron rations (biscuits and sweets that we kept in our gas mask cases!) Though this didn鈥檛 happen often as most raids were at night.
