At the beginning of the war, when I was 17 or 18 years old,I worked on a dairy farm. One of my jobs was to fill the bottles with milk and I remember on one occasion when bombs fell nearby and broke all the bottles.
I used to deliver the milk in an old Singer car--with cloth top. One morning I was delivering milk in the village of Ufford when a tank regiment which was stationed nearby started coming down the hill. I was going across the road in the car to a farm and had reached the middle of the road when the car stalled. The whole convoy of tanks had to halt. All the soldiers were highly amused. Eventually the farmer came and re-started the car allowing the army to move on. There was one extremely red face!
