I was just turned twelve years old when the war broke out. The unknown was frightening; as war was announced on the radio fear seeemed to flow through my veins instead of my blood. We were a family of four.
I remember vividly the Battle of Britain and watched it from our garden. I saw one pilot bale out and then a German plane shoot at him and his parachute.
To not know if he survived was terrible.
