[You served in 2 countries]

Belgium and Germany.

[Who were you with?]

8th Army. Well, it was the 8th Army hospital and we took it over, the RAF. I was a dietitian. We just made the diets for the soldiers coming out. We got 1 or 2 of the Belsen people as well.

[That must have been difficult for you.]

It was, because they had wounds everywhere. They couldn鈥檛 eat much.
They were very very thing. Just like sticks, walking skeletons.

Altogether, I started at the beginning of the war. I was in Coventry when the first bomb fell. It hit Coventry. That was the first place they hit.

[Coventry Cathedral?]

That was later. But they did a direct hit on it. It still stands, the remains of it.
