I was 11. I always remember the big U.S. boat that came into the harbour and that laid at low tide on the bottom and opened out. The vehicles came out, and I can always remember the crew playing sort of baseball on the harbour bed. I can remember one or two black people, and I鈥檇 never seen black people before, it was quite amazing. But the actual liberation, when the evacuees came back was quite an experience for us, waiting for my brother Roy to come back.
