I was born in 1942. Dad was given some leave from the navy so he could come home for my birth but was only allowed a few hours. I had to have an operation because I was unable to eat properly but had to wait two days until my gas mask came as I wasn't able to go to the doctors without it. When it finally came it was a full sized one!
Our house was full of people the night I was born as the neighbours had been bombed out so they were all there along with the doctor and the midwife. I was eventually taken to live with my grandmother as they kept trying to bomb the docks at port Talbot and we didn't move back until I was 3.
My father eventually came home in 1946. he bought bananas with him but I was frightened of them as I'd never seen one before.
