I鈥檓 Ada Ethel Davies, and I鈥檓 89.
During the war, I lived in Shropshire, in Welshampton first, and then I came to Whitchurch. I got married and went to Whitchurch, and lived there for quite a while.
My husband was an engineer. He worked all through the war, he never got called up, but he had to do his work just
the same. He worked at the Sentinel Wagon works, making the stuff there.
I used to cook for people, do cooking in different places. That was my life, that was. And then I had a baby daughter in 1942. Having a baby during the war had its drawbacks, but we got by. We had to get by. That鈥檚 why we鈥檙e still here, telling the tale.
