My lasting Memory of World War II is鈥 remember hearing the sirens for the first time and we all went into our Anderson Shelter at the bottom of the garden. The night the German鈥檚 dropped bombs around Manchester and we had some dropped near us, as there were three big factories at Clifton Junction and they tried to bomb them. We were nine years old ten and we used to go to school with our gas masks. If ever we forgot them the teachers made us go back home for them. One sad memory is seeing the dead cows in the fields where the bombs had dropped. And the bomb dropped at Bridge Street, Pendlebury where people lost their lives.
