My father, Charles John Ernest Bamford, was on fire watch duty in Shepherd鈥檚 Bush in London, and I, four-year old Marie Y. Bamford, was at home with my mother, Elsie L. Bamford, when the air raid warning went off. She was carrying me to the shelter with a small torch for light. The local warden shouted for her to 鈥減ut that light out鈥.

Thank you Elsie, Maria and Charles for your memory of the war. It must have been a frightening time for you. Do you have more stories?
Kind regards,
