I was one of only three survivoirs of the children's ward when the nurse's home and the children's ward suffered a direct hit.
We'd had moved to Looe in Cornwall, it was 1941, and I was only about 18 months old, and had been admitted with an ear infection - and kept in overnight for observation. Apparently I was burried under the rubble. I don't remember myself, but my mother told me I was badly injured - both legs broken, both arms broken and all my hair burnt off. When my mother went up to the hospital I had the wrong name tag on me.I was then taken to Truro Hospital, where I recovered - and I was Christened there too. In 1953 when I went into Mount Gould Hospital - one nurse remembered me by name.
