I was born in 1937 and was therefore 8 years old when the war ended in 1945. I have various memories of this time and although the town I lived in was only bombed twice - and that some distance from my home - there were numerous changes to our lives as a result of the war.
We had evacuees living with us in our tiny house, food was ration until 1954 and I was very conscious of the limitations this imposed on us all.
