ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½

I was 17 when war broke out. My parents ran the post office at Little Stonham. While living there we became suspicious of some people who had moved into the area. We reported them, and later heard that they had been found to be spies. They had had transmitters with them. This was near the airfield at Mendlesham.

I registered for war work and went to the munitions factory. I was sent away to work at Letchworth and then Egham.

I got married. My husband was on his way to France, but got sent back because he was ill with pneumonia. He was later sent to Norway and worked with the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½. He returned in November 1945, and the children from an orphanage they had helped made him a cigarette box.
