I have a great many .I dont know where to start.But here is a synopsis which i can spread out a good bit more if she is interested / On 3rd September 1939 ,the day the war started ,I was 9 years old.
My father being a Territorail Soldier was called to the Army at 9.am .Two hours before the war was declared.
He came into my room dressed in his uniform carrying his rifle ,put his arms around me and said 'well son ,thats me away to the sojers' . I didnt see him again for three whole years .
The same day.we were notified to attend at our school and to bring only whatever was necessary .As my sister was only 3 ,my mother was allowed to go with us and we were packed away to be evacuated to a village in Perthshire called Ballinluig .
Here I was seperated from my mother . So on the one day I lost my father , my mother and my home, even though it was a tenement building in Glasgow .
All this I was told was to save us from the dangers of war .Yet 9 years later I was conscripted into the Army ,sent overseas to Triest in italy where I lost my leg as a result of 'active service'
Much more if required
