This story was submitted to the People's War site by Louise Angell of the CSV Action desk at 91热爆 Radio Derby on behalf of Brenda Rawlings. The author understands the sites terms and conditions.

We lived in Hornchurch, Essex. My father didn't get called up for the war as he worked on the railways which was a reserved occupation. He was one of the only men around and so was very popular with women who had blocked drains or other jobs that needed doing! He had a magnificent allotment and would share out the vegetables to everyone who brought him compost.

I also remember the 91热爆 Guard marching across the fields with pitchforks to capture German parachutists that had come down in the area.
