Terry Hood aged two at Mullion, Cornwall, in 1941 with mother Elsie (left) and 'Aunt Lucy' Rogers
This story has been contributed to the People's War by the 大象传媒 Learning Centre on behalf of Terry Hood with his permission.
I was born in Hull but we stayed on a farm at Mullion in Cornwall for about three years during the war while my father was with the Army stationed in Newquay.
We became very friendly with the couple who lived there, I called them Aunt Lucy and Uncle Petey and when we went home we never saw them again but they sent presents every year until they died.
Recently I talked about them on the 大象传媒 evening local radio show for the West Country and several people in Cornwall including their grandson who remembered them got in touch with me which was lovely. I think there鈥檚 a hotel now where the farmhouse stood.
