adding a few more details to my original story, of the day my sister & me were deliberately machine gunned on our way to school, she was 9, I was 7yrs old.Rural Kent, walking hand in hand to the village school, gasmasks on our shoulders. There was a roar of plane flying very low, straight up the road from behind us. Suddennly we heard the rat,tat tat of bullets hitting the tarmac. From out of nowhere, a man on a bicycle appeared beside us, threw it down, & grabbed us one in each hand.He threw us into a ditch beside the road & covered us with his body. When the plane had gone, he got up, back on his bike & cycled off without a word, & we continued on our way to school. We never told anyone about this incident, & to this day I have no idea who saved our lives that day,
