I was 10 years old in 1945 at the end of the war, but vividly remember the war time etc.
I was brought up in the market town of St.Neots, then Huntingdonshire, now Cambridgeshire.....and was born above a shoe shop at 1 High Street....anyone reading this and still residing in the area will be well aware of the name of our family living there. During wartime a real commnity spirit existed....many years since I have visited the area, having lived in other countries and since returning to England etc.
War seems to bring people together....I can recollect the camaraderie of families during war time all helping one another......we all take so much for granted these days, so when we moan about situations today, we should look back, compare, and give thanks.
