I remember being ill treated by so called Sisters of Mercy way back in the 1930s and finally being reunited with my family way back in 1936. I had about three years at Coburg Road school in London when the war started so I did not get much schooling while being bombed out twice during the London Blitz. I finished up being evacuated to the Midlands and going to an evacuee school for 3 years before I left to start work at the age of 14. I still have my school leaving character reference which is now 77 years old because my family wants to keep it, although looking rather dogeared now. My head mistress was a Miss Highfields and so was her sister so we had 2 Miss Highfields.
I was 9 years old when the war started.
