I was only 4 years old when the war broke out, so my memories are few.
I was living with my Grand-Parents, because my Parents were working and living in Africa. My Grand-Dad was a retired miner.
All I really remember was having a siren suit, and we were given gas masks which we carried around our neck in a card-board box.
