During the War I attended Four Dwellings School Quinton at the end of the Christmas Term we had our Christmas Party. And we had to take our own cup and spoon (for the jelly) I started back to school after lunch (clutching my cup and spoon and had got a little way when the sirens went off. I ran back home and down the shelter 鈥� After the all clear. Then my father took me half way to school on the saddle affixed to the crossbar of his bike. He went back to work and I went on to school. Next thing, more sirens and another air raid. I ran all the way to school and I realised that I was the only person running across what seemed an endless playground. I joined my other school chums in the Air Raid shelter where we sang 鈥淭en Green Bottles鈥� and 鈥淥ne Man Went to Mow鈥� until the all clear went and our party began!
