I was a small child, born in 1937, so I was 2 when the war started. I was living in Usk in 1944. There was a transit camp for American soldiers nearby. We used to ask them if they had any chewing gum. They gave us gum or sweets or cake.

There were lots of things you couldn't get, like grapes, oranges, bananas.

We had to have gas masks. My brother was 5 years younger and had a Mickey Mouse mask.

A bomb fell behind our school and left a big crater.

A lot of my friends didn't see their fathers because they were in the army.
