I was three when war broke out and my mother sent me to Boscombe to a friend, but came to fetch me back because she missed me so much. After that we moved to Scarborough for the times when there was bad bombing in London. I went to school there in a class of evacuees who were further ahead than the Scarborough children.

One time when London was being bombed my mother and I lay under the bed cuddling each other.

I remember going to Greenock to see my father who was in the Navy when the aircraft carrier 鈥淔ormidable鈥� docked.
I remember too going to Portsmouth the day my father came home 鈥� they were all lined up and I asked my mother which one was my father.
