Lawrence Weston Library,
Dear Irene Pugh,
I was most interested in your story.
My husband comes from your area and has written about his experiences when he was a boy during the war. Perhaps your library would allow you to tap into the WW2 People's War site so that you can read some of the stories from the Fishponds and Bristol area?
My personal page is - U231954

Listed - 'Just 48 Hours to Get married', 'Aunt Joyce worked in a Factory', 'Bombings over Bristol' etc.
Kind regards,
Audrey Lewis
