I am sure very few people will remember now that there was a canteen for the Forces tucked away beside the goods entrance. It was small and had a miniscule kitchen which always smelt of tea, burnt toast and sausages cooking. It was always full of soldiers, sailors and airmen - Scots, English, French, Canadian and Poles. It was good fun. I always remember, after the Dunkirk evacuation, we had lots of weary, hungry boys who had been entrained from the South Coast. It was a very sad and sobering time. Getting home about eleven at night was quite a problem in the blackout. Many a time we walked from the Station to Queen's Cross unless the red-caps were not busy and then we got a lift in a jeep - very unofficial, of course!
