When people ask me about the war I always remember being told about 3 young children who lived near us, who were found in their house, after an air raid,still clutching the playing cards in their hands.
My brother-in-law came home from Dunkirk, shell-shocked. He stayed living down in the caves under a public house in Sneinton, until the end of the war. He came out just to get food etc.
During the war I was a joiner and made ammunition boxes for Simms Sons and Cooke.
