I was 15 when the war ended.
My brother was killed in the war. He served with the Sherwood Foresters but was killed in Cyprus when a bomb dropped on the cook-house where he was working.
During the war, I was at school in Creswell C. of E. School and can remember taking my gas mask to school, and remember taking my ration book to the shop for sweets.
I remember my brother coming home on leave to Duchess Street where we lived. Our family name was Hemingray.
