My grandparents had a holiday bungalow in Bracklesham Bay which is very close to Chichester on the South Coast. When war broke out they were on an extended summer holiday and they stayed throughout the war. At the back of their bungalow they had a field where they kept rabbits, chickens, geese and grew a few vegetables. One morning they woke to find the army had moved into their 'garden'. No one had been woken by their arrival. The lads in the army were very young and very hungry as they only had their rations of sweets to survive on so the children swapped sandwiches for sweets with the army lads. My mother told me the story (born in November 1933)
