I had been posted from RAF Kidbrooke to another camp near Woolwich and I was along with a Welsh girl called Peggy Polston. We had missed our train on the way back and had to walk from Blackheath to the camp and got lost in the very thick fog. We had been walking around in circles and then met up with two soldiers who took us up to the camp gates. They wouldn鈥檛 come near the gate and just left us to make our own way to the gate. There wasn鈥檛 any camp guard on duty and we had to climb over the gate to get in. I shouldn鈥檛 have been in the camp at all as I had been posted, but since it was such a foggy night Peggy said that there would be a spare bed as some of the girls were away and I could lie on their bed. I did get a bed, but I was frightened as the huts were inspected every morning, so I pretended to be asleep and wasn鈥檛 disturbed. The next hurdle was how to get out of the camp without a pass, but a group of us all walked together the other girls held up passes and I had a piece of card and got away with it.
