This story was submitted to the People’s War site by a volunteer from ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio Berkshire on behalf of Bill Mundy and has been added to the site with his permission. Bill Mundy fully understands the site’s terms and conditions.

My grandmother and grandfather lived right next door to Wokingham Police Station, where the war siren was located. One day I was there with my cousin, Jim and brother, Bob. Bob put a caterpillar down Jim’s neck, who screamed really loudly. At that very moment the siren went off, deafening us all. With that my grandmother said, see what you’ve done now. We thought we’d set the alarm off!
