Remembering those years gone by.I was 5 when the 2nd world war broke out.We were given gas masks. I had just started school when they started to put up the barrage balloons. We didn,t know what was going on then. We had been told that Britain was at war with Germany. We were all sent home from school when the air raid sirens started. It was scary hearing the guns firing at night.
Some people could look over to Barrow and see the sky which was red with all the firing. You could see the search lights sometimes and you could also see the german planes.
All the trains were stopped mostly because they were carring ammunition. Sometimes near where we lived you could hear the air raid wardens shouting put those lights out.
