This story was submitted to the Peoples War site by Dorothy was four years old at the time when her father went away to war in Dunkirk. Dorothy remembers building up a mental picture of her father when he went away and when her father returned nearly seven years later when she was eleven and she saw her father it never matched the picture she had in her head, he had aged and his hair had gone white and when he went to hold she pushed him away only because she didn鈥檛 recognise him, but this never spoiled their relationship with her father if anything it made it stronger because she misses him now probably more than her mother.
Another memory Dorothy has is when the air raid would go off they would go under the stairs because her uncle (mothers brother) had built bunk beds under the stairs so that is where they would always go, her mother would never go to a air raid shelter she always said she would rather stay her own house.
Another memory she has is that Dorothy never ate meat so Dorothy鈥檚 mother was given an extra egg a week and an extra half-ounce of cheese.
Dorothy remembers when she was younger that their was a depot by her house which was coalman鈥檚 garage in seaman road but walls ice cream used to store their ice cream there and until this day every time she goes into a garage the smell will always remind her of ice cream
