In the Castel there were classes at Rockmount Hotel, which had been closed down. It had already been occupied by slave workers for a bit. There had been a typhus epidemic but it had all been fumigated. There were lots of houses round Cobo that had been sealed up and fumigated, and then they were put in there. Cobo Mission, which is my church, was used for school during the week. Miss Martin’s house, Albecq House at Albecq was used then. One way of stopping the Germans taking over your house was if you allowed classes in to part of your house, to use it, or your church, then the Germans wouldn’t take it over. It was a sort of a trade off, really.
