I was a small child living in Durrington in Wiltshire during the War, in a tiny one up and one down cottage. One night I was in bed with my Mum when I said to her 鈥淭here鈥檚 someone coming through the window鈥�. She said 鈥淒on鈥檛 be silly.鈥� and I said 鈥淵es 鈥� they鈥檝e just knocked your pot over!鈥� I said 鈥淟isten 鈥� they鈥檙e coming up the stairs鈥� and she said 鈥淲ho鈥檚 that?鈥� and the reply was 鈥淲ho the bloody hell do you think it is!鈥� It was my father and he had to go and report to the police station the next morning 鈥� I think it must have been him returning from Dunkirk.
