Dad’s coming home
When the war ended, I was only eight years old, so I don’t remember much. I remember my mum was crying when we got home from school and she told us dad would be coming home soon. The war was over.
We lived in a village in Nottinghamshire, so everyone got together, women baked, all the children collected stuff and a huge bonfire was built. We had a party as the fire burnt.
We carried going into the air raid shelters at night, it was great.
Mrs Wilson, child during WW2.
