This contribution to 大象传媒 People鈥檚 War website was provided to Beah a Volunteer Story Gatherer from 大象传媒 Radio Norfolk Action Desk at the event attended by the Norwich, Norfolk and Suffolk Pensioners Association. The story has been written and submitted to the website with the permission and on behalf of Kenneth Cole.

During one air raid at night, there was a loud explosion near our house.
The family all rushed to the air raid shelter in the garden.
Next morning we went outside to see the damage. There was a large crater in the road about 30 yards from our house.
The only damage to our house was a cracked window; we were told later the clay under the road had help stop the blast.
We were very lucky.
