I worked at the Stevenage Post Office and I was called S C and T (Sorting, Counting, Telegraphs and Telephones) I was the only Female in the district and probably the only Female in the country to do the job. I worked all day in charge of the sorting office, on late duty I had to go and balance the books which I thought was unfair. I do recall taking a telegram of a young man I know it said, ‘it is with the deepest regret we have to inform you that your son did not return from operations in Germany last night’. These are words I will never forget.
