  3. Born in SEPTEMBER 1941, later, I was given a Mickey Mouse shaped and coloured Gas mask, but I didn't like it, the inside smell of rubber, put me off. Wish I had it now, But I still have the birth identity tag, that was tied around all new borns big toe With Name, Date, and Weight ON IT. My mom said she heard Air raid warning SIRENS that day, but, the PlANES PASSED OVER US AND WENT ELSEWHERE. But, even today, the recorded sound of the Air Raid warning Sirens, I find Haunting and scary.

  4. , ZEPPELINS RAIDED LONDON IN 1915, WITH HIGH LOSSES. BUT, BRITAIN WAS MORE SHOCKED, BY THE FIRST DAYLIGHT RAIDS, BY GIANT GOTHA BOMBER'S. IN ONE RAID, 162 CIVILIANS DIED, 432 INJURED. A HINT OF WHAT WAS TO COME IN WW2. THE EXPRESSION, ''THE BOMBER'S WILL ALWAYS GET THROUGH'', BECAME THE SLOGAN OF THE ERA, AND IN THE EARLY YEARS, WE HAD FEW EFFECTIVE DEFENCES. I'D ALSO LIKE TO POINT OUT, THAT THE GERMAN NAVY, IN WW1, ALSO SHELLED SEVERAL DEFENCELESS SEASIDE TOWNS AND FISHING PORTS ALONG OUR NORTH AND EASTERN COAST, WITH GREAT DAMAGE AND MANY LOSSES.
