1941
I remember mother sitting at the fireside hooking strips of fabric from old coats, skirts etc into sacking to make a rug. This was all the rage at the time.

With no power in the house our wireless (radio) was powered by an accumulator. This was a square glass containing lead plates in battery acid. It was charged at Bremridge's garage in the village for 3D.

Posted on: 02 December 2003 by Helen

Thank you for your submission to the Editorial Desk; it has now been categorised and you can find it on this page:

1941 <./>C1199</.>

As your story is very short I wondered if you might like to sumbit it to the <./>WritingWorkshop</.> where a Writing Buddy will help you develop a longer narrative?

You might also like to keep an eye on the <./>Collaborative</.> articles page, where you can submit shorter stories on a selected topic.

Best wishes,

Helen, WW2 Team
