This story has been added to The People's War Website by CSV Volunteer, Ann Toomey, on behalf of the author John Blewett, who understands the site's terms and conditions.

The Red Cross used to practice on me, pretending I had different things wrong with me, sometimes they would have me on a stretcher.

We had a lot of Americans arrived and they put up tents all over the farm - they were always very generous. There was one field where they did square bashing and another which they used for baseball. They used to give me rides in a jeep.

We also had evacuees on the farm and in the area. At Carsella Farm we had two school masters with their wives. I kept in touch with them for many years.

We were given a quota of potatoes and grain - I ploughed a lot of fields when I was younger.
