"Well my brother was already in the Territorial Army, before the war began. In fact, the year before, 1938, he was mobilised and sent to Woodbridge in Suffolk. By that time he was a master gunner in the Middlesex Regiment, and then when war was declared they came back to London, and he want to Netheravon in Wiltshire, and he was stationed in various places around there. I can鈥檛 offhand, I can鈥檛 think, but they were all in that area where he was sort of in charge of the guard and that sort of thing. Sadly, in 1944, he was down at Calshot, in Hampshire, where all the oil refineries were, and in a daylight German raid he was badly wounded. In fact, he had to be transferred to a military hospital as he was suffering from shellshock, and eventually he had to be discharged from the army."
