There were 6 of us children, the youngest being 3 weeks old, the eldest 16. Our father was at Dunkirk and mother did not have any information or know where he was, so decided to bring the family to England because she was English. The Salvation Army were very good to us. They took us to Manchester in the workhouse, my mother wrote to her mother, who arranged for us to go to Bournmouth, my mother had a sister who was in service, the lady she worked for managed to find us some furniture and we rented a house. Our father came home on a 48 hour pass and after that he went to Egypt, so we really did very well and were lucky that we came to England.
