I was 6 when the War broke out and when we got bombed out in Poplar the whole family had to move into the Anderson shelter. My father caught pneumonia from living in the shelter and died.

I remember a boy from school who one day never turned up again and it turned out that he and his whole family had died in a bomb raid. The Doodlebugs used to come overhead, we heard the sound and waited for it to cut out and to drop.

We moved to Hepworth, near Bury St Edmunds where my mother worked in the sugar beet factory.
