In 1939 I was living in the village of Peasenhall,in Suffolk. One night I was walking home from the local pub at about 10 pm and my journey took me up a hill. As I passed beneath a large oak tree I heard a noise but it was too dark to see anything. Next morning I was awoken to be told that the whole village was being evacuated. Apparently a 1000lb bomb had fallen from a plane,parachuted down and caught up in telephone wires right by the oak tree which I had passed the evening before. It was hanging there just 6 feet off the ground. I was 33 at the time and thanks to my lucky escape I am now 92.
