We in the Canichers had guns, big guns which were situated in the Blue Mountains at the Cotils behind us, and we used to have to get out of our house sometimes at four o’ clock in the morning, five o’ clock, because they wanted to fire practising their guns, and we used to have to walk up the road and go up to my aunt for three or four hours. We used to have to leave the windows and doors open, but there was damage to our properties as well because of it. But that was their practising, and they used to annoy my mother and father a lot I think, and a lot of people that way.
