I remember one night of particulary lengthy bombing in Coventry. We came up from the air-raid shelter, where we had been up to our knees in water. A nurse shouted us over to help with a lady who was in labour and me and a friend helped to deliver a baby
boy!
Coventry was very badly damaged in the war. The two people that I was lodging with lost thier lives in an air raid.
I went to work at Radway Green and remember once while I was on a train a German Plane followed us - looking for the Radway Green site. We had to hide under bushes for the whole night.
One outstanding memory of the war was the feeling of "all in this together" Everyone was friendly and we shared what little we had. A pot of lobby made by my mother was free to anyone from up our street. We all looked after each other.
