Pupils and ex-pupils from Whitehawk School outside restored 'Trenches'
We are Nathan and Marc and we interviewed Norman Ford who was at our school in WW2.
He told us that the children spent so much time in the trenches they did some work down there. Norman said it was really cold and they had bucket with a toilet seat on it.
Norman didn't have any family that fought in the war but his cat got killed.
Norman was in the army but he didn't fight in the war as was only 21 when he joined the army. In the war they didn't have much food so it was rationed. People would only be allowed a certain amount of food a week so they had to dig for victory in there own back garden.
