Elizabeth and Albert鈥檚 Stories

During the war as Elizabeth only had one parent she was compelled to work on munitions, so as she wanted to do something to help the war effort she joined the A.R.P. and later worked don aircraft.

During the bombing we had a great many bad experiences. One instance was when a bomb hit a factory. There was a man sheltering behind the glass windows, but when the bomb hit he was covered in glass and killed. Another was when a sailor came home on leave and was having a bath, the bomb hit the building directly and the poor lad lost his life. It was terrifying at the time but I feel at least I feel that I did something to help. I have helped to put out fires when the incendiary bombs dropped and other difficult situations.

We got through it in the end and are no worse for it now.
