As I was born in 1935, my memory is somewhat lacking! However I do know that my father was in the A.R.P. and the civil defence. He spent many hours away from home, especially at night At the beginning we did not have an air raid shelter so, as he was stationed at that time at the city morgue, we went with him! Eventually as the war progressed he built a dugout shelter in the back yard which we shared with neighbours.
I was and still am, very proud of him; a good man and very well respected in the community.
