My name is Eryl Williams, and I鈥檓 76 now.
At the time, I was in school in Mold. I was ten when the war broke out, so I don鈥檛 remember much about it really.
But I do remember one night, that a German plane was shot down, and somebody bailed out, and he landed on wall of the local dentist, it was then, or maybe it was the doctors, in Mold. And the Home Guard turned out, but they didn鈥檛 know what to do with this chap! And he was locked up in Mold Police Station overnight, while they decided what they were going to do. But there was great excitement.
I can remember even in Mold, windows being broken with the blast of the bombs being dropped round about. And I can remember a big piece of a German airplane fell in our garden, it was a big piece of old metal.
And you could see the bombs falling on Liverpool, it was like flashes, like fireworks in the night sky. And I can remember one time, this fighter was fighting this German plane overhead. A dog fight in daylight. When the railway was going from Chester, that was machine gunned one night, the train was, because they could see the sparks.
