Susan Moore — born 1934 (5 years old when the War started), living in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire.

‘I remember the school I went to having a Red Cross parcel from Canada. In it were the Canadian red apples — the colour of them is absolutely fantastic. There was also drinking chocolate — and we didn’t have facilities for drinking chocolate…so one day we came back from lunch and found one red apple and a square of paper with drinking chocolate powder on it. We had to lick our fingers and eat it that way. We had very little colour in our lives, so the red apples sticks in my memory’.
