My father was a regular soldier serving with the RASC and was sent to Palestine in the Autumn of 1938. I was born in June 1939 hence my first name - Rosemary for rememberance. My father traversed the Western Desert until March 1944 without any home leave, so that was my first meeting with him. My mother managed to sustain the three of us - my elder sister, herself and me - on the sum of 拢2.10s per week, supplemented by the fruits and vegetables she grew in our garden and the occasional'bones for the dog' supplied by her father who was a butcher. My sister and I both went to Grammar School. I retrained as a teacher in the70's and we moved back to my father's childhood home on the South Coast where my parents died in 89and 90.
