My name is Alice Finley and I worked in Doxford's shipyards in Sunderland. I was there for the entire duration of the war.
I was a Burner and the men marked off plates and I would burn them along with various other bars.
I burned them by attaching oxygen bottles to the burner, and I used to get them across by kicking the bottles across the yards.
Heheh, the men used to call me "little burner".
I got a lot of help from the other men, and I enjoyed every minute I worked there.
